alpakka silke

Alpakka Silke combines two fibres that share a talent for softness and drape, and the result is a yarn that feels genuinely special in the hand. Baby alpaca at this grade (20-23 microns) is among the finest available for hand knitting, and the mulberry silk adds a smoothness and sheen that lifts the fabric into something distinctly luxurious. The halo is present but controlled: enough to soften the fabric beautifully without obscuring stitch detail. Both fibres have natural heat-regulating properties, making it comfortable across seasons.  Best suited to garments and accessories where the fabric quality is the point.

For machine washing, we recommend that all wool garments be washed separately on a wool program, to ensure the gentlest treatment. Centrifuge well and dry the garment flat, preferably on top of a towel. Never use a laundry bag when washing hand-knitted wool garments. This creates friction that can cause the garment to felt.
