“WHAT’S HER STORY?

The softest alpaca yarn comes from a baby’s first shearing. We bundle up the wool that comes from around its neck – that’s the fluffiest of the bunch – so it’s no surprise that it comes in limited amounts. Sugar Baby Alpaca is soft, fine and fab for delicate or luxe knits.“

“WHAT’S IT LIKE TO KNIT WITH?

The super soft alpaca fibres are gorgeous to knit with, just like a dream!

WHAT CAN I MAKE?

Perfect for any piece that benefits from lightness and drape. Our favourite items to knit with this are mittens, gloves, hats and sweaters. Its hypoallergenic and thermal properties also make it the best yarn for babies.

Our Sugar Baby Alpaca is taken from the neck and nape of the animal and is often from the first shearing of an alpaca, giving you the softest, most beautiful fibre the animal is likely to produce.

Treasure of the ancient Inca civilisation, alpaca was considered “the fibre of the Gods” and could only be worn by kings during ceremonies. Our alpaca yarn comes from populations bred in the Andean Highlands, making their wool extremely strong, elastic, soft and fine. Its hypoallergenic and thermal properties make it the best yarn for babies.

Our Sugar Baby Alpaca combines a deluxe natural fibre, produced in very limited quantities.

This yarn gives cashmere a run for its money. Soft and fine, it’s amazing for more delicate knits.
