Iafil SPA · Baby Alpaca 2/16 · 800m/100g (875yds/3.5oz) · 100% Baby Alpaca (WP)

Baby Alpaca 2/16 by Iafil SPA is an exceptionally soft and airy yarn spun from 100% baby alpaca. In a single strand, it belongs to the lace category, producing delicate, lightweight fabrics with a gentle, natural halo. The fiber softly diffuses stitch definition and delivers warmth without weight, making this yarn ideal for refined, elegant garments.

Versatile Use
Baby Alpaca 2/16 is well suited for multi-strand knitting. When held in several strands, it transforms into a plush, lofty yarn while preserving alpaca’s signature drape, softness, and insulating properties.
