ALPAKKA SILKE
Sandnes Garn
Composition: 70% Baby Alpaca, 30% Mulberry Silk
50g, 200m (218 yards)
Stitches and rows: 27/10
Needle size: US 3 ( 2.5 mm to 3.0 mm)
Baby alpaca is not fiber from cute little alpaca babies; it’s the term used for alpaca fiber between 20-23 microns (micrometers) and is one of the finest and softest alpaca grades used for hand-knitting yarn. Combined with the smooth surface of the silk, this softness results in a yarn that feels especially gentle and cool against the skin. Both alpaca and silk have good heat-regulating properties and the silk has a unique moisture-absorbing property. Alpaca fiber does not contain lanolin.
