Description: Heavenly 4ply is divine! The yarn count is 3/12nm giving 400m per 100g of super soft baby alpaca which is blended with mulberry silk. Baby Alpaca is one of the most luxurious fabrics in the world. It is incredibly warm, light weight and strong. It has hypoallergenic properties, it contains no lanolin, which makes the fibre safe to wear if you have skin allergies. Alpaca is said to be three times warmer than sheep wool and the fibres have excellent insulation properties whilst remaining light and breathable. The silk gives it a shiny smooth lustre which feels soft and luxurious to work with. Heavenly 4ply is especially suited to weaving, knitting and crocheting; making scarves, shawls, wraps, baby and adult garments.
