As the weather cools and the winter holidays approach, bulky weight yarns become more and more popular here at HYS. With that in mind, we ordered a fresh supply of the soft and cuddly Cascade Baby Alpaca Chunky.
Cascade Baby Alpaca Chunky:
- bulky weight
- 100% baby alpaca
- 108 yards/100g
- $19 each
Alpaca fiber is known for its fuzzy softness, warmth, and drape, attributes that make it an ideal choice for cozy scarves, cowls, and shawls. Hats, mitts, and sweaters benefit from a more elastic fabric than alpaca tends to create, but you can stitch it on a smaller needle size or in a cable or rib pattern to add structure.
