You simply won't believe this super-soft, super-fine, super-luxurious, super-light alpaca yarn from Lang. This yarn has a light halo, yet is less transparent than most brushed yarns. No tickle or scratch like mohair, none of the itchiness you might expect with a feathery yarn.
This yarn really is super light--a dress takes only 175 grams in size small, and a medium long sleeve sweater is about 200 grams. That coat will float down the street with you--it's like wearing a warm alpaca cloud!
Perfect for lace scarves, shawls and stoles, but great for lighter-than-air sweaters too.

Outstanding service!
I don’t yet know how this will knit up. On initial touch, feels slightly scratchy, but that may go away upon knitting. This is one of the few knitting stores that carry this and I need it to knit something from Pom Pom magazine. Am very grateful that they carry it and they have excellent customer service! Thank you!

Happy Discovery!
I was so glad to find this yarn in the shade that I wanted. I have some in my stash that's 10 years old and needed more to complete my project. Lucky me! Service was speedy too.
