Edelweiss ALPAKA 4-ply 25g

Material composition and properties Our yarn is made from a high-quality blend: 65% virgin wool, 25% polyamide, and 10% alpaca. With a length of 100 meters per 25-gram ball and a recommended needle size of 2-3 mm, it is ideal for fine knitting projects. The gauge is 30 stitches per 10 cm, and the yarn required for a women's sweater in size 38 is approximately 500 grams. The yarn is machine washable at 30°C and therefore easy to care for. Special features and advantages Experience the cozy version of our sock yarns with a noticeable alpaca content! Even though 10% alpaca may seem small, it makes a noticeable difference in softness and quality. After testing five different material combinations, we chose this one because it offers the perfect balance: the durability and machine-washability of traditional sock yarn combined with the softness that makes it suitable not only for socks, but also for garments and accessories. We'd love to have touchscreens so you can experience the softness of the yarn firsthand. Until then: Try it out and see the quality for yourself! Origin and processing The raw wool comes from South America and is guaranteed mulesing-free, which is very important to us. Our Edelweiss yarn is spun in Italy and offered in convenient 25g balls. This smaller unit gives you maximum flexibility for multi-colored knitting projects – not only for your next pair of socks, but also for scarves, sweaters, and many other warm, soft, and easy-care creations.
