Types of Yarn. Alpaca.
Feb 22, 2021 10:18 PM
Hello, everyone!
Today, I'd like to tell you about Alpaca yarn.
Alpaca is a super warm fiber perfect for knitting sweaters.
Alpaca is natural wool from the South-American Alpaca. There are two types of Alpaca yarn, Huacaya and Suri. It is quite soft, almost silky, but it doesn’t hold its shape as well as wool does.
It’s usually a little more expensive and luxurious than regular wool.
Ideal For: As mentioned before, Alpaca is soft and a little warmer than wool. Those such qualities make it ideal for knitted winter items.
Fun Facts:
Did you know Alpaca fiber is water repellent?
It’s also difficult to make it catch fire!
They are some of the cutest fiber-producing animals.
