SANDNES GARN ALPAKKA is a soft and comfortable yarn that is about three times warmer than ordinary wool and thus the most insulating yarn in our product range. The fiber is hollow and breathable, so it feels warm in cold temperatures and cool in warm ones. Alpaca fiber does not contain lanolin. 

Sandnes Garn alpaca is of Superfine quality, the term used for alpaca fiber between 25-26 microns (micrometers) and is one of the softest alpaca grades used for hand-knitting yarn. 

The same fiber is used in both Alpakka and Mini Alpakka, but in different thicknesses - Alpakka is a 4-ply yarn and Mini Alpakka is a 3-ply yarn. 

Made in Peru, Bolivia
