5575 Marine - Alpaca wool
ALPACA WOOL contains 65% alpaca and 35% wool.
With this blend, the yarn retains the softness and insulating properties of the alpaca fiber, and the wool provides lightness and elasticity. Both alpaca and wool have good heat-regulating properties.
If you are washing in a machine, we recommend that all wool garments are washed separately on a wool program for the most gentle treatment. Spin well and dry the garment flat, preferably on top of a towel. Never use a laundry bag when washing hand-knitted wool garments. This creates friction that can cause the garment to pill.
RUNNING LENGTH: APPROX. 100 METERS PER 50 GRAM
GUIDE NEEDLES: NEEDLE 3½-5
KNITTING GAUGE: 22-19 STITCHES = 10 CM
RAW MATERIALS COME FROM: ALPACA FROM PERU/BOLIVIA, WOOL FROM AUSTRALIA/URUGUAY
