’Thames’ is an Alpaca DK yarn.  We have combined alpaca with Merino wool and silk to produce a DK knitting yarn in an exclusive blend which has been spun for us in the UK.  This luxurious Double Knit knitting wool is a blend of 45% Peruvian baby alpaca, 35% superfine, organic Falklands Merino wool and 20% Mulberry silk.

Thames Alpaca DK yarn has been dyed in the Scottish Borders in seven muted, sophisticated colours along with an undyed option.

This yarn knits to standard double knitting patterns, (but always knit a tension swatch).  It is a plump DK yarn with 4 singles plied together. There are approximately 225m per 100g.  The yarn is sold in 100g hanks.
