PIUMA ALPACA, 50 g

Piuma Alpaca is a versatile yarn made from a fluffy alpaca and wool blend. Each skein weighs 50 g and contains approximately 100 m of yarn. It is crafted from a premium blend of 55% alpaca, 40% wool, and 5% polyamide (nylon). There is something truly magical about working with a yarn that combines softness, warmth, and incredible lightness.

This delicate blend of alpaca and wool creates a sophisticated yarn that is perfect for eye-catching designs. Its airy texture gently caresses the skin while providing warmth and comfort. Thanks to its excellent yardage, Piuma Alpaca is ideal for creating voluminous and refined garments using just a few skeins. Knit a jumper or cardigan, a vest or a hooded shawl — or even a cute, fluffy hat.
The yarn is made in Italy.
