Rowan Alpaca Classic is a luxurious, lightweight yarn known for its soft texture and versatility. It is a blend of 57% alpaca and 43% cotton, which gives it a delicate halo and excellent drape, making it ideal for creating garments and accessories that feel light and comfortable but still warm. The alpaca fibres provide softness and warmth, while the cotton adds durability and structure, ensuring the yarn holds its shape well. Despite its airy construction, Alpaca Classic is highly insulating, making it suitable for lightweight sweaters, cardigans, scarves, and other layering pieces.
It is available in a wide range of soft, neutral shades as well as vibrant colors, offering plenty of creative possibilities for both textured and plain knit projects. The yarn works particularly well with lace patterns, cables, and colorwork due to its smooth texture and fine weight. Typically knit on larger needles, Rowan Alpaca Classic is versatile for a variety of gauges and designs, making it a favorite choice for knitters who appreciate a combination of luxury, warmth, and softness in their finished pieces.
