Frequently Asked Questions
What needle or hook size is recommended?
This yarn works best with knitting needles US size 7–9 (4.5–5.5mm) or a crochet hook in the 5.0–6.0mm range, depending on your preferred tension and project.
Is alpaca wool itchy?
Alpaca fiber is naturally softer and less scratchy than many sheep wool yarns, making it a great choice for garments worn close to the skin. Sensitivity varies by person.
How should I care for finished alpaca projects?
Hand wash in cool water with a gentle wool wash and lay flat to dry. Avoid agitation and heat to prevent felting or shrinkage.
Can I mix balls from different packages?
Yes — colors are consistent across packages, so you can combine multiple packs for larger projects like blankets or oversized sweaters.
