Leisure Bulky is an exceptionally soft yarn spun from a blend of the super fine Peruvian alpaca and Pima cotton. This yarn is designed similarly to crêpe yarns: a strand of Pima cotton is wrapped around the hard-twisted alpaca core, and has a slightly slubbed, beautiful bouclé-like texture called crêpe. Leisure Bulky is extremely soft, and is suitable for any types of autumn-winter knitwear: from sweaters, coats and baby knits, to accessories: bags and backpacks. Known facts: Wool from alpacas and llamas has been blended with Pima cotton by the Incas since the 15th century (1450) to create a heavier, sturdier cloth similar to medieval Fustian - a blend of wool and cotton or linen (it was used for making dresses). * Similar yarns: Joya
