A dreamy single ply of softest baby alpaca, our Goldenberry Alpaca yarn is a hand-dyed beauty suffused with the luminous glow of its namesake, a golden fruit native to the lush cloud forests of the Andes mountains.

  • The smooth single-ply spin of Goldenberry Alpaca amplifies the alpaca fiber’s natural luster, giving the yarn a captivating brilliance. Soft and cloud-like in your hands, a delicate halo floats above the stitches, like sunlit mist brushing high mountain peaks.

  • An artisanal kettle-dyed yarn, Goldenberry Alpaca’s single-ply structure readily absorbs color on its surface, while a subtle warm white core illuminates each color from within. Shifting dark, medium, and light tones shimmer across your stitches, creating fascinating movement and dimension.

  • Pick from a radiant palette of 19 colors drawn from the treasures of nature: mysterious Deep Sea Green, rich Golden Amber, delicate Silver Bark, and more. Like the goldenberry itself, with its jewel-bright fruit wrapped in a papery husk, every skein holds layers of beauty waiting to be revealed.

  • Goldenberry Alpaca comes in 100-gram skeins, each a one-of-a-kind wonder. A light worsted/DK weight yarn, it knits up into a soft, opulent fabric with flowing drape, perfect for elegant wraps, scarves, and garments. Our Goldenberry Alpaca knitting patterns show off this yarn in all its hand-dyed glory, from smooth stockinette to textured patterns that catch the light and reveal hidden depths!

  • Goldenberry Alpaca is 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.

  • The dyes adhere to European REACH regulations that protect human health and the environment from harmful chemicals.
