A&P Alpaca & Silk 4 Ply
Soft and silky alpaca made even more silky with the addition of, well, silk. Alpaca is lighter and softer than wool and has a beautiful drape but lacks its elasticity. The silk adds strength and a gentle sheen to the yarn which makes the most beautiful shawls and scarves and is brilliant for lace work.

Ball weight and length – 100g./400 m.
Fibre – 70% Alpaca, 30% Silk

Ainsworth & Prin yarn is hand dyed in small batches. We try to achieve consistent colours but each skein is unique so when using more than one skein of a colour in a project we really recommend alternating skeins every couple of rows.
