Fiddlehead is full of the promise of joyful knitting! 100% alpaca, this yarn is incredibly soft, unexpectedly light and airy, and definitely spunky.

  • Fiddlehead’s distinctive structure knits up into a surprisingly light fabric with a shockingly soft touch and a texture like a curly little lamb!
  • Similar to a bouclé, but rather than a series of loops, Fiddlehead’s alpaca roving runs along central threads in soft waves. Those central threads are also 100% alpaca, by the way, and are either an ecru color or black.
  • All the colors in Fiddlehead’s palette mix two shades of alpaca roving, sometimes very closely related colors and sometimes very different ones. Either way, the resulting colors are wonderfully complex and add depth to your finished knitting.
  • A super bulky-weight yarn, Fiddlehead is available in 100-gram, 65-yard skeins.
  • Find some wonderful inspiration with our collection of (mostly free) knitting patterns in Fiddlehead!

Made in Peru, this fiber is also Peru Fair Trade Certified, which means the mill that makes it is committed to fair and safe working conditions, as well as a respect for the environment, with low-impact production techniques, a responsible consumption of resources, and the reuse, recycling, and reduction of raw materials. It also adheres to European regulations that protect human health and the environment from harmful chemicals… Nice!
