Iafil SPA · Baby Alpaca 2/28000 · 1400m/100g (1531yds/3.5oz) · 100% Baby Alpaca (AP)

Baby Alpaca 2/28000 by Iafil SPA is an ultra-fine, airy yarn spun from 100% baby alpaca. In a single strand, it falls into the Ultra Fine category, producing exceptionally light fabrics with a soft, matte surface and a gentle natural halo. The fiber diffuses stitch definition slightly and delivers warmth without weight, making it ideal for refined garments with fluid drape.

Versatile Use
Designed for multi-strand knitting, Baby Alpaca 2/28000 transitions smoothly from light fingering through DK to true worsted as strands are added. The yarn retains alpaca’s signature softness, elasticity-free drape, and insulating properties across all weights.

Care Instructions
Gentle hand wash in lukewarm water
Use a mild detergent specifically for alpaca
Lay flat to dry on a horizontal surface
Do not wring or tumble dry
Steam lightly at low temperature if necessary

Swatching Required
A washed and thoroughly dried swatch is essential. Alpaca fibers bloom after washing, softening stitch definition. For a more fluid, airy fabric, consider sizing up needles by approximately 0.5 mm; this may slightly reduce total yardage.

Disclaimers
Color may appear different due to screen and lighting. Yarn is not eligible for return or exchange.
