Two ply sport weight 50% alpaca / 50% wool yarn 15-16 WPI (wraps per inch), great for knitting a shawl, a light bonnet or a pair of gloves/mittens.
This yarn is a blend of alpaca's fiber and sheep's wool 1:1. Such blend is warmer than pure wool and has greater elasticity than pure alpaca, which allows the garments to better keep their shape.
The soft alpaca fiber was sourced raw locally from a farm called La Vie en Alpaca in Beloeil of Montreal region in Quebec, Canada. It is of natural medium brown milk chocolate color. The sheep's wool was comes from another farm in Mauricie region of Quebec in Canada. It is of natural gray color and very spongy, approximately 24-26 microns which is very soft for wool. In this yarn, the two colours are plied together producing in a brown-grey heather shade.
