Gazzal Peru Alpaca – Fine Alpaca Warmth for Winter Knits
Gazzal Peru Alpaca brings the exceptional comfort of the Andes to your needles. This sophisticated yarn blends the incredible warmth of Superfine Alpaca with soft Merino wool and durable acrylic. The result is a thread that is surprisingly lightweight yet provides superior insulation against the cold. It offers a subtle, fuzzy halo that adds character to any project without obscuring the stitch definition.
💡 Tip: Because Alpaca fiber is naturally warmer than sheep's wool, you can knit thinner, lighter garments that still keep you incredibly toasty. It is perfect for fine winter sweaters that fit comfortably under coats.
Why choose this alpaca blend?
-
Superior Insulation: Alpaca fiber is hollow, making it thermally efficient. It traps body heat effectively, making this yarn ideal for hats, gloves, and winter scarves.
-
Soft & Strong: The blend combines the softness of Merino and Alpaca with the strength of acrylic, ensuring your finished garments resist felting and hold their shape well over time.
-
Elegant Texture: The yarn creates a fabric with a polished, slightly rustic look that works beautifully for both plain stockinette stitch and intricate cable patterns.
