Sandnes Alpakka Følgetråd by Sandnes Garn (Second thread) is an alternative for Tynn Silk Mohair for those who do not wish a fluffy expression. We have chosen not to set needle sizes or knitting tension, as we believe it works best as a complimentary thread. Hence the name Alpakka Følgetråd.
Looking for a different shade we don't currently have in stock? Just drop me a line and I can order it in for you.
Alpaca is about three times warmer than ordinary wool and thus insulates well. The fiber is hollow and breathable, so it feels warm in cold temperatures and cool in warm ones. The wool added to this blend provides resilience and volume. Both alpaca and wool have good heat-regulating properties.
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

Recently purchased patterns and the Sophie hood kit. - super quick reply to a query I had and also delivery of order. The patterns are so much nicer to use than a PDF - will definitely shop there again. Jean Haynes
