‘Whitbarrow’ is an Alpaca Fingering weight yarn. We have combined alpaca with Merino wool and silk to produce a Fingering knitting yarn in an exclusive blend which has been spun for us in the UK. This luxurious Fingering weight knitting wool is a blend of 45% Peruvian baby alpaca, 35% superfine, organic Falklands Merino wool and 20% Mulberry silk.
Whitbarrow Alpaca fingering yarn has been dyed in the Scottish Borders in a wide range of solid colours. Ash Twig is a warm, creamy beige colour.
This yarn is super-soft and is ideal for knitting shawls, scarves. It is light-weight yet cozy and is great for knitting tops that you will wear next to your skin.
This yarn knits to Fingering or Sock weight knitting patterns, (but always knit a tension swatch). There are approximately 400m per 100g. The yarn is sold in 100g hanks. We also have a few mini skeins which are at least 30g and may have one join. If you would like us to ball your yarn for you, please make a note on the order.
