Alpaca 3
Isager Alpaca 3 is an I-cord spun yarn consisting of a blend of 50% wool and 50% alpaca. The yarn is spun in a way that gives it a special soft and airy feeling. It is perfect for sweaters that will feel almost weightless. Technically a DK-weight yarn, it can be knit at a worsted, aran or bulky gauge. In addition to sweaters, Alpaca 3 is ideal for scarves, cowls, hats, cozy shawls and vests! The soft and airy fabric you create will be a joy to wear.
