Shepherd Textiles 100% Baby Alpaca Yarn (2/28) is a versatile alpaca weaving yarn. Baby alpaca does not mean the fiber is from baby alpacas, called cria, but is used as a scale of softness which is defined by having an average fiber diameter (AFD) of no more than 20 microns. The resulting yarn is exceptionally soft and very strong on account of the long staple length. Our Baby Alpaca Yarn, 2/28 performs exceptionally well as both warp and weft, and we use it as one of our primary yarns for weaving coverlets, shawls, and tartans. Stronger, warmer, and softer to the touch than similar weights of wool yarn. Approximately 40 wraps per inch (WPI). Recommended tabby sett of 30-46 ends per inch (EPI) depending on the desired finished cloth feel.
Sold in 1kg cones. Approximately 14,000 meters per kilogram.
Product of Peru. Handwash in cold water; lay flat to dry.
