Alpaca Puff is a light and airy yarn and it is incredibly soft.
Alpaca Puff consists of 51% baby suri alpaca + 49% pima cotton and has a yardage of 300 meters/100 g.

A blow yarn is a yarn that is not spun in the traditional way. Instead, fibers are blown into a hollow structure—in this case, a fine mesh of pima cotton filled with soft baby suri alpaca fibers.
This construction creates a yarn that feels light, soft, and voluminous, and it hardly sheds at all.
Because the fibers are not tightly spun, the yarn develops a gentle halo and a fluffier character, while still maintaining good stability from the outer structure.
The yarn is therefore soft, lightweight, and extremely comfortable to wear—and it is very easy to knit with.

Alpaca Puff is a yarn that can be used to knit everything from sweaters, hats, mittens, and scarves to much more.
We knit Alpaca Puff on needle size 4 – 6 mm – for example, it gives a gauge of 17 stitches per 10 cm on 5 mm needles.
