Alpaca Lace is a luxurious, wonderfully soft, delicate and yet robust yarn made from pure alpaca wool. In the Lace yarn count, Alpaca Lace is incredibly light and made for all kinds of ajour or lace patterns. It consists of 100 percent baby alpaca hair. These extremely soft and delicate fibres come from the first shearing of young animals from the Andes highlands of Peru. The yarn is also spun for us in Peru. The fine, light yarn has a slight fluffiness, but does not lint.

Alpaca Lace is excellent for light tops with a delicate lace pattern and is perfect for accessories such as scarves or shawls. It has excellent heat regulating properties and is extremely soft on the skin. It is also well tolerated by sensitive people, and as alpaca contains hardly any lanolin, even by wool allergy sufferers. Alpaca Lace is also wonderful for baby clothing!
