Alpaca with Merino Light Fingering Yarn
Merino and Alpaca in Gooseberry
‘Alpaca Merino Light’ is a fingering weight yarn. We combine alpaca with Merino wool to produce a fine knitting yarn in an exclusive blend, spun for us in the UK. This luxurious, plied, worsted-spun Light Fingering weight knitting wool is a blend of 70% Peruvian baby alpaca and 30% superfine, organic Falklands Merino wool. Arbon Socks (our other brand) uses this yarn to knit our alpaca bed socks.
I have the natural ivory alpaca blended with green coloured Merino wool to get the gooseberry colour.
This yarn is super-soft and is ideal for knitting shawls, scarves. It is light-weight yet cosy and is great for knitting tops that you will wear next to your skin. As it contains no nylon, we only recommend using it to knit bed socks (using small needles).
This yarn knits to Light Fingering, Sock weight or 3 ply knitting patterns, (but always knit a tension swatch).
I wind the yarn into 100g hanks, which is approximately 425m. If you would like us to ball your yarn for you, please make a note on the order.
