Vilja is a is a lovely 3-ply yarn spun from fibres of Peruvian alpacas. Vilja is soft, warm, and pliable, and perfectly suitable for many kinds of projects.
We spin from the same good fibre quality as Alva.

Alpaca is a llama species, belonging to the camel family that originates from the South American highlands. The indigenous people of South America have known and used alpaca fibres for thousands of years.

In the South American Highlands, the temperature can vary between +30 and -20 degrees in a single day. The hollow structure of the alpaca fibres makes room for air bubbles, making the fibre breathable on warm days and isolating on cold nights. This makes the alpacas suitable for living in the highlands and makes the alpaca fibre perfectly suitable for clothing as well.

Vilja was previously sold under the name Indiecita.

Vilja er et lækkert 3-trådet garn spundet af fibre fra peruvianske alpakaer. Vilja er blød, varm og glansfuld og velegnet til mange slags projekter.
Vi bruger den samme lækre kvalitet, som også anvendes i Alva.
Alpaka er en lamaart, der hører til kamelfamilien, som er hjemmehørende i det sydamerikanske højland. Alpakafibrene har været anvendt af Sydamerikas oprindelige befolkning i årtusinder.
I det sydamerikanske højland kan temperaturen svinge mellem -20 og +30 grader på et enkelt døgn. Alpakafibrene er hule og indeholder luftbobler. Det gør fiberen åndbar, når det er varmt, og isolerende, når det er koldt. Det hjælper alpakaerne med at klare de omskiftelige betingelser i højlandet, og gør alpaka yderst velegnet til beklædning.
Vilja blev tidligere solgt under navnet Indiecita.
