A soft, balanced blend of wool and alpaca with a cozy drape and gentle sheen. Isager Alpaca 2 is a lightweight fingering yarn that combines the structure of wool with the silky drape of alpaca. The result is a smooth, round thread with a gentle sheen and a cozy "fuzzy" finish that blocks beautifully into a cohesive, professional-looking fabric.

A Versatile Wardrobe Builder

Alpaca 2 is exceptionally pleasant to knit with, gliding over the needles without being slippery. It is strong enough for daily-wear sweaters but has enough elegance for a special-occasion shawl. Because it is a 50/50 blend, it blocks very well, evening out your stitches and revealing a lovely, soft halo. Whether used alone or held with Silk Mohair for extra fluff, Alpaca 2 is a reliable staple for any handmade wardrobe.
