Alpaca Fino is a classic Peruvian alpaca yarn — a smooth, balanced 4-ply construction spun from 100% superfine alpaca fibre. It has a gentle natural sheen and an even structure that allows stitch definition to emerge clearly whilst maintaining a soft, fluid drape.

From alpaca farmer to spinning mill, the entire production takes place within Peru, supporting regional fibre traditions and local employment.
