A lovely, soft and snuggly alpaca silk sport, this popular yarn takes the dye well. The colours appear soft and muted due to the high alpaca content. Speckles spread a little on this yarn, although you can get some delightful effects. This makes an excellent, lightweight garment yarn and snuggly shawls and accessories. The resulting fabric blocks out nicely with beautiful drape.
