Highland Alpaca Chunky is a delightfully soft, natural yarn perfect for chunky-and-quick sweaters, plain or colour-work. It also makes shawls and accessories with beautiful drape to them, and exceptional home decor such as throws and pillows. To mention: Usually knits made from Alpaca yarns are pretty heavy in weight. Highland Alpaca Chunky makes light in weight knits because of the content of Highland Peruvian wool which is naturally lightweight.
