It doesn't get much softer than alpaca! This yarn from Drops is 100% alpaca wool, in a versatile sport weight. Its super soft texture makes it perfect for anything that will sit close to the skin, even for baby blankets. You could knit this yarn alone, double stranded in different colours for a marled effect, or you could even knit it with a mohair for extra fluff!
Like most wools, alpaca has amazing qualities such as being temperature regulating, odour and stain resistant, water and wind repellant, and hypoallergenic. But it's also more lightweight than other wools, making it a lovely material for layering all year round.
