Silky Alpaca Lace

Silky Alpaca Lace is a beautiful

blend of fibers spun into a
gossamer yarn that creates an
lightweight fabric. The alpaca in
this yarn provides warmth and
a soft halo, while the silk adds a
subtle sheen to the knitted stitches.
Worked with larger needles,
Silky Alpaca Lace makes lovely,
light-as-air shawls, garments and
accessories.
