from website: “The Incas in South America used a laguage of knots, called QUIPU, to send secret messages. From that inspiration we’ve created a richly sensuous and seductive alpaca yarn. Alpaca fiber is among the most insulative in nature, so this light weight yarn is perfect for three season wear and layering. Keeping garments light also help to retain shape. QUIPU is fun to knit, shows pattern stitches (from lace to cables) handsomely, and combines in the most friendly way with all types of fiber for multistranding. Go ahead -- delight yourself!”
