This combination of fibers produces a very lovely, soft and drapey yarn. It is particularly well suited for shawls, and if you knit sweaters — which you certainly can — be aware that it can stretch 2 - 3 cm in length after some wear. Although it is a very soft yarn, if you are prone to allergies you should knit a swatch and wear it against your skin to test whether you can tolerate it. Alpaca fibers can be tricky for some people, even when they are soft.
We do a lot of image editing on our products and we do our best to achieve the most true-to-life picture of the yarn. However, please be aware that colors may vary depending on the screen you are viewing the images on.
