Cotton Alpaca Tweed

Cotton Alpaca Tweed combines the strength and breathability of cotton, the versatility of polyamide, and the fuzzy warmth of alpaca in a chainette yarn. Flecked with colorful slubs of contrasting fibers, this unique fiber blend offers crafters a soft, tweedy yarn with a rich depth of color.

A fluffy, warm tweed blend with subtle flecks of color and a soft halo

Alpaca is a distinctive fiber beloved among crafters for its light drape and generous warmth. Nearly 30% warmer than wool yet remarkably lighter, alpaca is also naturally hypoallergenic, with less lanolin than wool. Combined with the strength and elasticity of polyamide, and the breathability and durability of cotton, Cotton Alpaca Tweed offers crafters a soft chainette yarn with a lofty soft feel and a sturdy core.

Generous Yardage

With 588 yards in 4 balls of yarn, crafters receive enough Cotton Alpaca Tweed to knit or crochet a scarf or cowl, multiple hats, fingerless mitts, or fluffy bed socks. Cotton Alpaca Tweed’s lofty, soft fabric and light alpaca halo lend it beautifully to sophisticated heirloom accessories and lightweight but warm garments.
