We're thrilled to introduce Rico Soft Alpaca in the sophisticated shade of 013 Anthracite! This yarn offers fantastic value without compromising on quality or feel. It's a delightful addition to our range and we think you'll love working with it.
Soft Alpaca is a hand knitting yarn spun with a classic twist and a satisfyingly plump thread. The clever blend of fibres creates a yarn that's both durable and wonderfully soft to the touch. The alpaca fibres bloom gently to create a subtle halo, giving each colour a beautiful, lightly blended effect. The result? A yarn that's as warm and inviting as it is lovely to look at.

The blend of acrylic, alpaca and wool gives you the best of all worlds - the softness and warmth of alpaca and wool, combined with the durability and easy care of acrylic. This makes Soft Alpaca perfect for a wide range of projects, from cosy jumpers and cardigans to hats, scarves, and blankets.
Don't be afraid to experiment with needle sizes! While it's ideally suited to 4mm needles, you can happily use 4.5mm needles to achieve a more open, aran-weight fabric. This versatility makes it a great choice for adapting existing patterns or designing your own unique creations.
We think this yarn will be a brilliant option for all your knitting projects. Happy crafting!
