This 100% Baby Suri Alpaca yarn offers exceptional softness and a luxurious feel at great value. After spinning, it undergoes a meticulous brushing process that fluffs the fibres, creating a unique, feathery texture and airy halo.
Though not made from first-sheared baby Suri hair like our silk blend, it remains incredibly soft and perfect for sweaters, scarves, and wraps. It knits beautifully on various needle sizes, either single-stranded or paired for extra warmth. While intricate patterns soften in its fluffy texture, colourwork and faded knits stand out.
The yarn takes dye beautifully, with colours gently diffusing across its cloud-like base, resulting in a pillow-soft fabric with lovely drape. Ideal for cosy, elegant garments and accessories.
And yes, this is fingering weight: 16sts and 28 rows over 4” using 4.5mm needles
