The world’s most luxurious knitting yarn, Vicuña Pura is a fingering-weight yarn made from 100% wild vicuña fiber. Soft as a cloud, vicuña will knit up into scarves, shawls, and hats of unparalleled warmth and elegance. Vicuña Pura is a special yarn spun for us in Argentina by TexAndes, a storied fiber mill that sources their vicuña fleeces directly from chaccus in the Andes mountains. They set aside some of the finest lighter-colored fleeces each season to spin into Vicuña Pura, the flagship yarn that represents the best of the annual harvest. An exceptional yarn for exceptional projects. For more information about vicuña fiber and the vicuña trade, please see the Frequently Asked Questions on our main vicuña page.
Each skein weighs 50 grams and is 250 meters long (light fingering weight, NM count 4/20). Approximately 22-24 wraps per inch (WPI). Recommended needle size is US 1-3. Please note that you will need a yarn swift and ball winder if you wish to convert the skein to a center-pull ball. Arrives in a handsome white gift box. Each skein is individually numbered and includes a certificate of authenticity and a CITES lot number.
*Vicuña Pura is imported under permit by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) and in accordance with the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES). Our vicuña is fully traceable to healthy wild populations listed in Appendix II of the treaty. Please note that all sales of vicuña products are final.
