SURI ALPACA

hand wash

100% alpaca

Worsted

Suri Alpaca differs from the more common Huacaya Alpaca in the characteristics of the fibres. Suri Alpaca is only slightly crimped and more lustrous. Our yarn is produced from 100% Suri Alpaca and is brushed. It has a beautiful, cosy feel and an enchanting sheen.

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: 1484 yarns · 57 brands · 142 without gauge · 344/1490 gauge rows missing row count.
