1/4. 2NM Rugged Alpaca Wool Yarn

1/4.2NM Wild Alpaca Coarse Wool Yarn is a highly individualistic and warm-toned coarse-spun textured yarn. It falls into the extremely coarse-spun category and can present a full and three-dimensional texture with just one strand. The main raw material is high-quality alpaca wool, with a fiber fineness of approximately 22-26 μm and a length of 50-80 mm. Through a special spinning process, the natural long fibers and fluffy texture of alpaca wool are retained, creating a unique "long-haired" effect - the fabric surface has flowing fluff, a soft touch, and a visually bold and free-spirited appearance, with a strong handcrafted feel and a natural atmosphere.

Soft and comfortable, 30% lighter than wool: The fibers of alpaca wool are hollow, with a 1.5 times better insulation performance than wool, yet weighing about 30% less than wool. It offers no压迫感 when worn, and does not contain lanolin, making it less likely to cause allergies.
Resistant to balling and shrinking： Alpaca wool has fewer and smoother scales compared to merino wool, making it more resistant to balling; with proper care, the shrinkage rate is low, and the fabric shape remains stable.
Rich natural colors： The original color of alpaca wool comes in over a dozen natural colors such as white, cream, light gray, dark gray, brown, and black, allowing it to present a sense of sophistication without the need for dyeing, meeting the demands of environmental protection and natural concepts.
Customizable dyeing： Supports loose fiber dyeing or twisted yarn dyeing, with Pantone color numbers or sample color matching available, and the minimum order quantity is flexible.

1/4.2NM rugged alpaca wool yarn is a star product in the field of hand weaving and creative design. It is often used for weaving oversized scarves, shawls, cloaks, berets, headbands, thick gloves, home coverings, and pillowcases, etc.

Hand-knitted knitting needles: Use 8-12 mm knitting needles (density approximately 8-10 stitches × 10-12 rows / 10 cm) for weaving scarves, shawls, and hats. You can also directly knit by hand (finger knitting), without the need for tools. It takes 5 minutes to knit a scarf.
Crochet needles: Use 8-10 mm crochet needles for crocheting thick blankets, cushions, and baskets.
Home flat knitting machine: Generally not recommended as the yarn is too thick for ordinary home flat knitting machines to handle. If you need to machine weave, it is recommended to use industrial coarse needle flat knitting machines (needle spacing above 3.5 mm).
Fur shrinking treatment: Alpaca wool can be slightly shrunk to enhance the fluffy texture. Rub the finished product gently in 30-35 °C warm water for 5-10 minutes. Note that the shrinkage rate is approximately 5% to 10%, and leave some allowance when making the pattern.
Washing and care: It is recommended to wash by hand or dry clean. Use alpaca wool-specific detergent, wash in cold water and gently press, lay flat to dry, do not expose to direct sunlight, do not dry, and do not iron at high temperatures.
