The Alpaca Yarn Co. CLASSIC ALPACA made in Peru

Classic Alpaca is a premium quality, ultra soft, Peruvian superfine alpaca yarn in double knit weight. Alpaca fiber is lanolin-free and as the result it is hypoallergenic. This natural yarn is suitable for any kind of hand/machine knitting and crochet projects: sweaters and accessories, colourful Fair Isle knits, next-to-the-skin and baby articles.
