Description
The Superfine range of yarns has a gorgeous soft handle with good loft that knits up beautifully. The yarns are 75% British superfine alpaca blended with 25% wool and manufactured mostly in the UK. The alpaca in our yarns is sourced from our own herd and from alpaca farms based in the UK & Ireland.
This is a proven blend that offers increased resistance to shedding and pilling and adds loft and substance to the yarn.

Washing machines: Modern machines with delicate programme at 20degC using a wool delicate detergent. Can be spun at 400rpm but it is always advisable to check first by washing a tension square and then checking the final dry size.
