Alpaca Paracas knitting yarn

Product detailed description

PARACAS yarn represents a gem among purely natural materials from the acclaimed Italian manufacturer Mafil. This exclusive range carries the 100% Filato Ecologico – Linea Natura label, which guarantees gentle fiber processing with maximum respect for the environment and preserves the authentic properties of the finest Peruvian alpaca.

The Alpaca Fleece fiber stands out for its unique softness, natural silky luster, and amazing thermoregulating ability – it reliably warms even on the coldest days, yet is significantly lighter than classic sheep's wool. Since it contains no lanolin, this yarn is naturally hypoallergenic and exceptionally pleasant to the touch, so it can be worn without concern even by people with very sensitive skin.

Thanks to its finer structure and generous yardage of 180 meters per single 50g ball, working with this yarn is highly economical. The resulting models have a beautifully fluffy, fluid drape with a longer, elegant halo that creates an authentic luxurious look. The yarn is optimal for working with needle sizes 2.5–3 (US 1.5–2.5) or a crochet hook size 3 (US C-2 or D-3). It is perfectly suited for creating timeless wardrobes – from lightweight yet highly warm pullovers, fine cardigans, and lace shawls to elegant hats or throws.
