This yarn is exquisite and unique, with the softest baby Alpaca creating a glorious, cloud-like halo and providing an amazing amount of warmth in the finest hollow fibres. These pillow-y tufts are cradled by the soft 100% British Bluefaced Leicester to create a 3-ply yarn unlike any we have tried - light and delicate but sturdy at the same time.

This is ideal for airy shawls and wraps but would also work well in light knitwear. The baby Alpaca will pill a bit, but shaves off clean to leave the strong, undamaged BFL fibre beneath making this a surprisingly resilient blend.
