Type 49167 Imperial Alpaca 49042

Type 49167 Imperial Alpaca 49042Fibre Content 100% Imperial Alpaca (18 Micron) Meterage 400m per 100g Gauge: 2. 75mm 28sts & 46 rows WPI: 24 This is something a little special, Imperial alpaca is some of the finest alpaca ever grown with a micron of 18!! This is finer than baby alpaca. It is a gorgeous fibre. Andy chose the twist for this one, and it has got a high twist to it, which gives the yarn a lovely texture, and the resulting fabric more body reducing the drop that can occur

it’s probably our softest fluff

The resulting fabric when knitted is super neat with a gentle shine

See notes here for an extra scouring step instructions for this yarn

To maintain the look of the boucle curls

Suitable for all dyeing styles

5mm needles

customers will pick this up and not be able to let go of it

We used a 7mm needle and got 12sts and 18rows

This yarn is superb for glazing techniques

Krypton has an epic high twist which makes dyeing it so much fun

Gauge: Knitted Flat 2

What we also love is that the yarn doesn’t act quite like a Superwash but more like a non superwash when knitted into a fabric
