Extreme Softness: The sophisticated combination of Baby Alpaca and Merino wool ensures this yarn is completely non-irritating. It is a dream to wear directly against the skin, making it the ultimate choice for those with highly sensitive skin.
Fluffy & Airy Texture: This yarn creates a rich, voluminous look that beautifully hides minor stitch imperfections, providing a modern and luxurious finish to every project.
Superior Thermal Efficiency: Despite its lightweight and airy feel, the natural insulating properties of alpaca and wool retain heat exceptionally well. It is the perfect companion for the coldest winter days.
Washing: Hand wash only in lukewarm to cool water (max 30°C). Use a specialized detergent for wool and delicate fibers, free of enzymes or bleach. Do not use fabric softener, as it will cause the "blown" fibers to clump together, losing their light and airy appearance.
Gentle Soaking: Let the item soak for 5-10 minutes, pressing it gently with your palms. Do not rub, scrub, or twist the material.
Dry Flat: Lay the garment on a dry towel over a flat surface. Being a very lightweight yarn, it will dry relatively quickly, but it is crucial to reshape it correctly while it is still damp.
Pilling & Shedding: All fluffy yarns may develop small pills in high-friction areas (such as under the arms). Do not use electric lint shavers; instead, remove them gently by hand or use a specialized fine wool comb.
