Alpaquina stands out for combining alpaca softness with enhanced washability. The Easy Wash treatment gives you the softness, halo, and warmth of alpaca, but with more resilience – you can use it for garments and accessories that see regular wear, including baby items and even socks. Because of its fine gauge and long yardage, a single 100 g skein can work up into delicate, lightweight garments – and it’s especially suited for pieces that hug the skin, use fine detail or lace stitches, or require frequent washing. The added polyamide gives structure and durability without compromising the softness.
