Soffiato, 100 g

Soffiato Superfine Alpaca is a warm and fluffy knitting yarn made from a soft superfine alpaca blend. A small amount of polyamide has been added to give structure to the softly spun alpaca fibres. Soffiato combines the finest qualities of alpaca wool: lustre, elasticity, lightness and durability. Alpaca fibre contains very little lanolin or wool grease, making it easy to keep clean and suitable also for skin that is sensitive to lanolin. This sophisticated alpaca blend creates an airy and luxurious yarn that is perfect for eye-catching designs. Its lofty, fluffy structure feels wonderfully soft against the skin while providing pleasant warmth and comfort. Soffiato is an ideal choice for striking projects that knit up quickly. Patterns for the knitted garments shown in the product images are available on Katia’s website. The yarn was designed in Spain and manufactured in Italy.
