The Alpaca Yarn Co. Halo, made in Peru

If you consider yourself a person who is mohair sensitive, there is no need to feel guilty and to be jealous of people in fluff. Halo is a brushed and next-to-the-skin, ultra luxurious Suri alpaca yarn. The composition of this yarn is absolutely classic for all brushed varieties except the unique fluffy part, which is made of brushed Suri. (Recipe: to make the yarn strong and incredibly soft at the same time, a very thin strand of nylon is tightly twisted with the alpaca fiber so that it looks like fluffy clouds attached to the nylon binder forever.) Halo is air-weight, and is suitable for any types of hand knit articles: lightweight coats and jackets, wraps, dresses, shawls, accessories. It is a perfect substitute for anyone who is sensitive to mohair.
