Mini Alpaca is a soft and comfortable yarn that is about three times warmer than ordinary wool and thus the most insulating yarn in our product range. The fiber of alpaca hair is hollow and breathable, so it feels warm in cold temperatures and cool in warm ones. Alpaca fiber does not contain lanolin.
Our alpaca is of Superfine quality, the term used for alpaca fiber between 25-26 microns (micrometers) and is one of the softest alpaca grades used for hand-knitting yarn.
The same fiber is used in both Alpakka and Mini Alpakka, but in different thicknesses - Mini Alpakka is a 3-ply yarn and Alpakka is a 4-ply yarn.
Please get in touch if you'd like us to build you a kit in a different colourway to those listed.
I bought this to knit some socks for a Moomin loving friend. The wool is lovely and a pleasure to knit with. Ordering and delivery were quick and easy and I very much appreciated my Christmas stocking stitch marker.
Really happy with my lovely book. Excellent customer service, speedy well packaged delivery. I would happily recommend Treasure Modern Knitting, they have a great range of products too.
I’m really enjoying these patterns from PetiteKnit. They are printed on good quality paper, using A5 as the leaflet size. The perfect size to pop into a project bag!
The most accurate description of this yarn is Quality Basic. It has a lovely soft handle with some firmness, which makes it a great all rounder. The blend of wool and nylon means you can also use it for cosy DK socks too!
