SOHO ALPACA, 50 g

A brushed alpaca-blend yarn containing 50% alpaca, 32% merino wool, and 18% polyamide. The yarn is spun around a chain core, and in addition to the ecru, pink, or gray base color, fibers in various shades have been carded into the yarn. Although it looks voluminous, it is wonderfully lightweight and soft. With large needles, it works up quickly into striking knitwear.

Soho Alpaca is suitable for sweaters and cardigans as well as eye-catching accessories such as cowls, beanies, hoods, and scarves. If you’re looking for an especially warm and quick-to-make knit, this yarn is the perfect choice. A Soho Alpaca garment is not only trendy but also warm and breathable.

The merino wool originates from Australia or South America. The alpaca wool comes from Peru, and the alpaca yarn is produced according to fair and responsible trade principles (Peruvian Fair Trade). The yarn is spun in Italy.
