Description

100gram skeins of Alpaca Boucle lace weight yarn, in its natural cream undyed colour.

Alpaca fleece is the natural fibre harvested from an alpaca. It is a soft, durable, luxurious and silky natural fibre. While similar to sheep’s wool, it is warmer, not prickly, and has no lanolin, making it hypoallergenic and suitable for those with wool allergies. Alpaca is naturally water-repellent and keeps it’s shape well.

Suitable for knitting and weaving – crochet may be a little trickier due to the yarn loops!
