Baby Alpaca Cloud

Baby Alpaca Cloud is a dream of a yarn. This yarn has a cotton 4ply core with a halo of baby alpaca spun around it. The meterage on this yarn is amazing since this base knits up as more of a DK weight but has the meterage closer to a fingering weight.

100gr - 380m / 415 yrd
56% Baby alpaca
44% Peruvian pima cotton

Because of how the baby alpaca is spun, you can work this yarn on a multitude of needle sizes. When knitted or crocheted on the larger needle sizes, a light and airy piece will be made. The sample is made on a 4,5mm needle and has a 16 stitch gauge. I've also worked up swatches on 4mm (17 stitch gauge) and 3,5mm (18 stitch gauge). Gauge is very personal and dependent on if you're a tight or loose knitter or crocheter. My supplier their stitch gauge is 23,5 stitch on 3mm and 21 stitch on 4mm. I'm personally not a loose knitter. 

The sample you see in the pictures is a smaller version of the Sunday morning shawl by Espace tricot and only used 24 grams of one 100gr skein. 

When I say this yarn is soft, it’s soft soft. Itch factor differs per person but I can feel no itch whatsoever. This yarn creates a lovely soft and light fabric when knitted or crocheted.
