Rico Luxury Alpaca Superfine Aran 50g 035 Chocolate

Rico Luxury Alpaca Superfine Aran

Some yarns are practical. Some are pretty. And then there are the ones you can't resist stroking every time you walk past them. Rico Luxury Alpaca Superfine Aran definitely belongs in the third category.

This lovely aran-weight yarn has that wonderfully soft, cosy feel you’d expect from alpaca, with a beautifully smooth finish that makes it a joy to knit or crochet. It’s the sort of yarn that turns an everyday project into something you’ll be very pleased to pull on when the weather turns chilly.

Soft, Smooth and Seriously Lovely

With 50g and 140 metres per ball, Luxury Alpaca Superfine Aran gives you plenty of length for an aran-weight yarn, making it a lovely choice for garments and accessories alike. Think cosy jumpers, cardigans, hats, scarves and all those other projects where you want softness to be very much part of the plan.

The yarn has a lovely drape and a refined finish, so it works beautifully in both simple stitches and more interesting patterns. Keep things understated and let the yarn do the talking, or use it for cables, textures and colourwork when you fancy giving your needles something more interesting to get their teeth into.

A Little Bit of Luxury for Your Stash

We think this is a particularly lovely yarn for projects that are going to be worn close to the skin. It has that soft, indulgent feel that makes you want to cast on immediately - preferably with a large mug of tea within easy reach.
