ALPAKKA SILKE - Soft Alpaca & Silk Yarn
ALPAKKA SILKE is crafted from the finest baby alpaca fibers (20–23 microns) blended with smooth, lustrous silk, creating a yarn that feels exceptionally gentle, cool, and elegant against the skin. Both alpaca and silk are excellent at regulating temperature, while the silk adds a unique moisture-absorbing quality. Free from lanolin, this yarn is naturally hypoallergenic and perfect for sensitive skin.
