Plymouth Yarn Alpaca Lino

Plymouth Yarn Alpaca Lino is a sophisticated, high-end blend that marries the cloud-like softness of alpaca with the crisp, structural integrity of linen. This unique combination creates a "best of both worlds" fabric: it possesses the luxurious drape and warmth of a natural animal fiber, grounded by the strength and breathability of a plant fiber.

The Beauty of the Blend

While alpaca is known for being incredibly soft, it can sometimes be "too" heavy or prone to stretching. The addition of 20% linen acts as a structural backbone, helping your knitted or crocheted garments hold their shape over time. The linen also takes the dye differently than the alpaca, often resulting in a beautiful, subtle heathered effect with a slight natural luster.
