Wool and the Gang Alpaca Stardust Yarn

Wool and the Gang Alpaca Stardust is a luxurious aran/worsted-weight yarn that combines soft baby alpaca and merino wool with recycled metallic polyester for a delicate, light-catching shimmer. Soft and slightly fuzzy with an elegant sparkle running through the strand, Alpaca Stardust can be used throughout an entire project for a statement finish or worked into cuffs, trims, stripes and other details when you want just a touch of shine. The combination of alpaca and merino gives the yarn warmth and softness, while the metallic fiber adds dimension without overwhelming the texture of your stitches. Ideal for knitting and crochet, Alpaca Stardust is especially suited to sweaters, scarves, hats, accessories and festive or statement pieces where a traditional wool yarn could use a little extra character.
