BABY LAMA

ball band: "Chunky" · hand wash

88% llama12% nylon

Bulky

The buttery-soft fibres that we use for BABY LAMA make the yarn especially gentle on the skin - even for people with sensitive skin and allergies. Compared with other luxury fibres, such as alpaca or cashmere, llama is absolutely as long-lasting and offers exceptional stability, too. With a natural sheen, BABY LAMA brings a subtle elegance to any project, the hollow and semi-hollow fibres provide wonderful thermal insulation and lightness. Our yarn combines the special characteristics of llama fibre with a selection of natural dyes, carefully curated, to bring your creative ideas to life.

Weight group is derived from measured gauge, not the brand's label — that is why a yarn labelled "aran / worsted" can sit in our Aran group while another brand's "worsted" lands in DK. Library: 1406 yarns · 42 brands · 135 without gauge · 276/1408 gauge rows missing row count.
