Sandnes Garn Alpakka Contains 100% pure alpaca for those that require only the best quality! Extremely soft and comfortable Alpaca Wool suits for kids and grown-ups. DK weight yarn is suitable for many kinds of knits - sweaters and cardigans, accessories like mittens and hats or comfortable shawls.
Alpaca fiber is lightweight and soft to touch without the prickle-factor that some wool may have. Alpaca is moisture wicking and water-repellent fiber and feels warm in the winter and comfortable and breathing in summer.
Alpakka is hypoallergenic, because Alpaca Wool doesn't contain lanolin.
Try 3.5-4mm needles for Sandnes Garn Alpakka. You need 1-2 balls for a hat or a pair of mittens. For a medium-sized cardigan you need approximately 600 g.
