This combination of fibres gives a very lovely, soft and drapey yarn. It is especially suitable for shawls, and if you knit sweaters — which you certainly can — be aware that it can stretch 2 - 3 cm in length after some wear. Although it is a very soft yarn, if you are allergic you should knit a swatch and wear it to test whether you can tolerate it. Alpaca fibres can be tricky for some people, even though they are soft.
We do a lot of image editing for our products and do our best to achieve the most true-to-life representation of the yarn. However, please be aware that colours may vary depending on the screen you view the images on.
