ALPACA QUITO

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

There is a particular comfort in softly spun alpaca. 

Grown in the high altitudes of the Peruvian Andes, superfine 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 Quito is a softly spun single-ply yarn made from 100% superfine alpaca fibre. Its airy structure allows the knitted fabric to form countless small air pockets, creating exceptional insulation whilst maintaining lightness and drape.

Smooth and silky on the needles, it moves effortlessly whilst knitting and settles into garments with a relaxed, natural flow. Its softness and buoyancy make it especially suited to warm sweaters, scarves, and garments designed for comfort and ease.

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