  • British Alpaca Silk 4-ply (450m/100g)
Picture
Hand dyed/painted 4-ply/fingering/sock weight yarn in a blend of 80% Baby Alpaca harvested only from British flocks, plus 20% Tussah Silk.  This yarn is incredibly silky and soft to the touch, and takes dye beautifully, giving wonderful glowing colours.  Softly twisted, it is lighter than a standard 4-ply at 450m per 100g, but the knitted fabric is thicker than you might expect.  Perfect for slightly heavier weight shawls and scarves, or for a luxurious pair of socks!

This yarn was used by designer Anniken Allis to produce her "Perranporth" Shawl, as featured in issue 110 of The Knitter magazine.  It takes one 100g skein of this luxury yarn - Anniken used the Peacock Blues colourway.
