100% Royal Alpaca Weaving Yarn (2/28)

$114.99
Sold Out

Shepherd Textiles 100% Royal Alpaca Yarn (2/28) is the finest alpaca weaving yarn on the market. Fewer than 1% of all alpaca fleeces are fine enough to be classed as “royal,” which is defined by having an average fiber diameter (AFD) of only 18 or 19 microns. The resulting yarn is exceptionally soft, comparable to the best cashmere, but also very strong on account of the long staple length. Our Royal 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 30-36 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.
