Henry's Attic Prime Alpaca Undyed

It may look and feel like a luxury yarn, but Prime Alpaca just might become your new staple yarn. This smooth sport- to DK-weight yarn is just right for all types of lightweight but warm sweaters and accessories. Woven, knitted, or crocheted, it will drape elegantly for casual sweaters, shawls, or blankets. Work it a bit more firmly to give structure to hats, mittens, or tailored sweaters. The generous 8 ounce hanks mean that most sweaters will just require two or three skeins, and a blanket can be woven with just three or four!

Pure alpaca is delightfully soft, and wearable by people who are allergic to the lanolin in sheep's wool. And you will love the array of natural undyed colors that alpacas provide; these range from darkest charcoal to creamy white, and all of the greys and browns in between!

Available in heathered, dyed colors from Galler Yarns.
