Our super fine 2-ply alpaca yarn is perfect for repairs to very finely knitted garments such as alpaca, cashmere or merino.
 
This luxurious yarn is spun and dyed in Peru using 100% baby alpaca fibre - it's actually leftover surplus yarn from the textile production process and without being rescued it's likely it would end being wasted and sent to landfill.
 
It contains no added synthetic fibres unlike most darning wool or mending yarns and therefore releases no micro-plastics in the wash. We much prefer to source pure yarn which helps to reduce our impact on the planet, so this one gets a big tick from us!
 
Not only that, but did you know alpaca is ideal for those who are sensitive to other wool fibres? Alpacas do not produce any lanolin at all, which makes pure alpaca wool hypoallergenic and safe for allergy sufferers.
 
If you require a slightly thicker yarn you could always use this doubled or even tripled up.
 
Each card contains approximately 10 m (33 ft) of yarn.
