Baby Alpaca Fingering Weight Yarn

Ready to knit something luxurious? Baby alpaca, which comes from the animal's first shearing, is even softer and finer than regular alpaca, and it creates a cashmere-like texture that is silky and wonderful to the touch!  Baby alpaca is warmer and more insulating than sheep's wool, and particuarly light and airy. While not necessarily sturdy enough for the wear and tear of socks, it  makes an excellent next-to-skin fabric for all other garments. Use the playful, beautifully saturated colors of Sassy Black Yarns for shawls with effortless drape and styling, or cozy hats, berets and mitts.
