One of the softest of our three natural ranges, Puno is made exclusively from Baby Alpaca and is outstandingly soft and perfectly suited for sensitive skin. The plied look gives it a chunkier heavier appearance yet is extremely light and soft to the touch. Puno yarn makes a quick knit and a cosy one to boot!

Snug as a bug – is what you will be, when knitting something in this Alpaca yarn. Due to its slouchy and drapey effect it is best suited for flowing and body skimming pieces, ideally knitted seamlessly. Slouch hats, snoods, blankets or shawl projects are particularly well suited for the Puno Alpaca yarn.

Quito is the yarn you want, when thinking of frosty Autumn walks or a stroll in the snow.

Alpaca is one of the warmest fibre you can choose. Due to its slouchy and drapey effect it is best suited for flowing and body skimming pieces, ideally knitted seamlessly. Alpaca Quito is a single yarn, not plied, and, once knitted, allows for many air pockets to store that extra bit of warmth when needed.

The yarn is silky and soft, slips easily off the needles and allows for a quick knit – when knitting with Alpaca yarn it is advisable to go up by 0.25mm – 0.5mm a needle size to allow the amazing drape to flow and keep its buoyancy.
