Alva is a buttery soft 100% alpaca yarn at a fine lace-weight. It's perfect for adding to other yarns that you want to bulk up or soften a little bit. A great substitute for mohair, Alva will give you the same softness and warmth, without that fluffy halo that mohair gives. 

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.

Alva comes from alpaca farms in Peru. This yarn is also spun and dyed in a mill right in Peru, and then sent to Filcolana's warehouse in Kjellerup, Denmark to be packaged. Read more about Filcolana here.

Alva is super soft, warm, and breathable, which makes it a wonderful choice for baby knits. It's also lovely held single or double for projects like shawls and scarves! But our favourite way to use this yarn is by holding it with other yarns like Merino or Shetland in place of a mohair.
