ALPACA FINO

100% Superfine Alpaca | DK Weight | Natural Colours | NOTE: The black yarn is dyed, as natural black Alpacas are a rarity.

There is a particular softness unique to superfine alpaca.

Grown in the high altitudes of the Peruvian Andes, alpaca fibre offers exceptional warmth whilst remaining lightweight, breathable, and gentle against the skin. Naturally free of lanolin, it is especially well suited for those sensitive to sheep’s wool.

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.

Finished garments feel warm yet light, with a relaxed elegance that makes them easy to wear across seasons. Its drape makes it especially suited to seamless garments, flowing forms, and body-skimming pieces.

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

Character

Superfine alpaca is warmer than sheep’s wool whilst remaining lightweight and breathable. Its smooth fibre structure creates softness without prickle, and its natural lustre gives finished garments quiet depth. Free of lanolin, it offers a comfortable alternative for those sensitive to wool.

The balanced 4-ply construction provides strength, durability, and beautiful stitch definition.
