Alpaca Cloud Lace Yarn

$6.39 50g / hank


The downy softness of the hollow core alpaca fiber makes it amazingly warm, but light as a feather, and therefore perfect for lace. The alpaca packs a lot of punch, as far as heat retention goes, for its size and weight, making it the perfect fiber for the functionality of lace - lightweight warmth. Baby alpaca is one of the softest and finest classifications of alpaca, and you will love the luxurious feel of this yarn against your skin. These subtle heathered colors are like mists draped over your shoulders, offering classically understated elegance and sure to compliment several outfits in your wardrobe.

Amillë Pattern


Amillë $7.99


“In Alpaca Cloud, you have what feels like a medium-range baby alpaca in a delicate and extremely affordable laceweight yarn. The two component strands have been plied together at a relaxed angle, lending a smooth fluidity to the yarn. But once washed, a modest, blurry bloom appears over the surface of your knitted fabric for a soft, cozy effect.” Interweave Knits, Winter 2007

This is one of my all-time favorite yarns, buttery soft and amazingly fine quality. Inspired by some of Marianne Isager's designs, I often use two or three strands together to create a tweed in fingering (2) or DK (3) weight, with wonderful results. Especially in the midnight colorway, this is one yarn that I stockpile because I always know that I will use it.

I love this yarn. I use it primarily to knit things for the dolls I collect, because it's the perfect scale. I just wish knitpicks would ADD more colors instead of take them away.
