A sturdy, no-nonsense yarn that is cushiony and soft, producing garments that will last for years. The speedy gauge lets you knit larger outerwear garments quickly. This is a bundle-'em-up and send-'em-outside-for-hours-of-snow-fort-building-fun yarn. Textured stitches and cables really stand out, adding interest to more utilitarian coats, jackets and ponchos. The longer superfine alpaca fibers give the yarn just a little bit of sheen and increase the warmth to weight ratio of the wool. Cadena also felts into a very thick fabric for durable totes and backpacks.
"I’m knitting a pullover for my daughter out of Cadena. This bulky weight Peruvian wool/alpaca blend will keep her warm on damp, chilly days this winter while she is riding her horse and cleaning out stalls. Cadena is a durable, long-wearing yarn that will keep up with her 10-year-old energy level."

"One [of my friends] said (quite snarkily) that she was allergic to wool and could tell because she always broke out immediately. Ummm, she was cuddled up with a wool for sure. It was Cadena in a red color that was a gift to me by another enabling knitting witch (whom I love dearly for introducing me to Knit Picks). oooh it was so tempting to call her out on this, but I decided to check on her the next day to see if she had reacted. Sure enough, she was fine and I told her the content of the yarn of the blanket. She was shocked! "but it wasn't scratchy!, you must be mistaken..."
Thanks for making the 'Good' stuff available,"
