This is one of our first air blown yarns, this construction is a little different, it has baby alpaca inside a cotton cage. It makes the most snuggly fabric, that has a gently halo but not too much fluff. The fabric knitting in this yarn is fantastic, it’s almost a woollen spun texture whilst maintaining the softness and warmth. It takes the dye well, and the cotton cage provides some really nice denim/worn like effects as it will not take acid dyes like the alpaca inside. This yarn will make the best sweaters and accessories
