Alpaca, soft and warm like cashmere, but gentle on your wallet. If wool fibers leave you squirmy, you should try alpaca, as it often can be tolerated by folks who are sensitive to wools. That's because the surface of the fiber is smoother and flatter. The smooth fibers lend themselves very well to lightweight, airy garments, like gossamer sweaters and lace shawls. Alpaca Lace is made from superfine alpaca, and has a slinky drape, and is very soft. Try a sharper knitting needle with laceweight yarns so you can feel the stitches more easily.
- 100% superfine alpaca
- Approximately 8 oz., approx. 2,480 yd., 1 skein
- Approximately 32 sts per 4" on US 00-2 or 1.75-2.75mm
- Dyes great with Acid Dye

This was my first experience with dyeing yarn. I used the Greener Shades dye I got a couple of years ago and then didn't get around to trying. The Alpaca Lace yarn took the color marvelously. Now I've broken up the skein and am going to try re-dyeing or overdyeing parts with different colors. (That's a lot of Chrysanthemum yellow! lol) I will definitely order more of this later but I still have 2 fresh skeins to play with. I think I am hooked.
