This new yarn from UK Alpaca is a luscious blend of 75% Suri Alpaca (the rarer breed of alpaca with the long, silky locks), 20% Huacaya Alpaca (the more commonly seen breed with the crimped fleece) and 5% Silk, with excellent drape and lustre, giving a generous 225m/50g or 450m/100g.
UK Alpaca asked Julie to design a shawl pattern to complement the commercially dyed shades of the new yarn and "Orange Beauty" is now available via their website (Julie used 100g each of Celandine and Scarlet Pimpernel for the large size, pictured left).
We are also producing hand-painted skeins which can be mixed with the commercial shades or used alone. The yarn can be dyed in many of our popular shades, so please contact us for a custom order in your favourite colourway(s).
