Børstet Alpakka is a premium yarn made from 96% brushed alpaca fibers, combined with a strong 4% nylon thread that stabilizes the structure when the fibers are brushed. The result is an extremely soft, light, and airy yarn with a fluffy and delicate texture.
Alpaca fibers offer excellent thermal insulation—being approximately three times warmer than regular wool. The natural structure of the fiber is also hypoallergenic, perfect for sensitive skin. The brushed texture creates an elegant halo effect around the yarn, ideal for projects with volume and natural luster.
Børstet Alpakka is frequently used held-together with finer yarns to add volume and warmth, or knitted individually for delicate pieces with a soft and luxurious appearance.
