This yarn is a beautiful blend of alpaca and silk making for a unique yarn. Each skein is 2-ply, light worsted and 200 yards. The approximate weight of each skein is 2.5 ounces.
Alpacas produce and provide to us a very soft fiber that is hypoallergenic. Alpacas do not produce lanolin like sheep do, so most people can wear alpaca even if they are allergic to sheep's wool. An alpaca's fiber is soft, light weight, and very warm, making it a very popular natural fiber.
