UK alpaca fleece has been spun in the UK with mulberry silk to produce a very soft, chunky yarn.  It is woolen spun which means it has a light, bouncy feel. This yarn is hand-dyed on the farm at Town End.

75% UK alpaca, 25% mulberry silk.

This yarn has a rustic, homespun appearance.  It is slightly neppy and has small bits of vegetable matter in it in places.

Use 6-6.5 mm knitting needles.

Sold in 100g hanks.  There are approximately 92 metres per 100g.
