Why use 100% Baby Alpaca Yarn? Alpaca is a naturally antimicrobial, hypoallergenic, flame resistant fiber. I can’t imagine using anything else to craft special items for my loved ones. The yarn itself is super soft and luxurious. You will love the silky feel of it on your skin. It’s not itchy like wool and has many other great beneftis to include moisture wicking and the best thermal protection of even all of the luxury fibers.

fast ship, and wonderful wonderful yarn. bought the steel blue [and just wish there were a peach and/or pink]. bought to make socks for myself… there is nothing softer and/or more wonderful than alpaca for socks…. and remember! once only royalty could wear this fabric!!last knit alpaca for socks when my dad was dying of cancer… and he loved them sooo much. said they were so soft they helped his pain.don’t miss this opportunity. ps… would recommend #2 needles for the socks – tried #1 in swatch, but felt it was a bit too stiff.pps – to AndeanSun… let me know plz if you ever do a peach and/or pink… and would be glad to design for you as well 🙂

Awesome, ultra-soft yarn. I would make everything I crochet from this stuff if it wasn’t so prohibitively expensive. Depending on the stitch used, one skein is enough for about 100 square inches of crochet.

Really lovely, soft, and easy to work with — I’m knitting a cowl for my mom. She’s in her 80s with sensitive skin, and loves the feel of this yarn. I’ll be ordering more of this nice yarn, for sure.

Knits up wonderfully with lots of drape. It’s not scratchy like sheep wool and almost reminds me of angora. My daughter loves the cowel I made these into. Soft on the skin.

Very soft and well made yarn. No hidden joins in the middle of the skein. Generally baby alpaca has a fuzzier texture without as much definition- this is knitting up nicely- a little softness and still decent stitch definition. Am working on a hat with the grey color. So far only at the ribbed part…Will definitely use the rest to make another hat
