Whether you're making sweaters, scarves, hats, afghans, or other cozy projects, Classic Alpaca will bring a touch of elegance to your work. It’s also great for felting!

Each skein is 1.76 ounces (50g) and approximately 110 yards (100m). The recommended gauge is 22 stitches per 4" (5.5 stitches per inch) on US #6 (4.0mm) needles or with a size G-6 crochet hook.

WHAT MAKES BABY ALPACA SPECIAL?
Baby alpaca refers to the fiber grade, not the age of the animal! It is the finest and softest alpaca fiber available, making it ideal for garments worn close to the skin. Compared to wool, baby alpaca is softer, warmer, and hypoallergenic—perfect for those sensitive to lanolin. It has a silky feel, a beautiful drape, and natural insulation properties that keep you warm without feeling heavy.

This luxurious yarn is processed in Peru, where alpacas are deeply woven into the country’s culture and heritage. Designed by Beth Lutz and her small team at The Alpaca Yarn Company in the USA, Classic Alpaca Yarn is a carefully curated yarn that reflects both tradition and quality.
