Alpaca 1
Isager Alpaca 1 is an ultra thin, two ply yarn made from 100% Alpaca. Use this yarn both on it’s own for scarves, but mainly we suggest knitting this yarn together with a strand of another yarn. Any yarn will benefit from being combined with Alpaca 1 to make interesting colors or to add some heft to a lightweight yarn. The color range offers many interesting effects such as creating an interesting new shade when combined with another color and one strand of Alpaca 1 can also add unity and bind colours together in a work where many colors are used.
