Softer than soufflé, squishier than cheeks, Alpachino Merino brings together two of the silkiest fibres out there. Inspired by the rainbow landscapes of Peru, our 100% natural beauty is sustainably sourced and available in sixteen stash-worthy shades. This chunky, gently twisted yarn has a super wearable, easy-to-knit weight which makes it perfect for year-round stitching. Incredibly soft, smooth and gently plied, this is a very easy yarn to knit with - GREAT for beginners! Sweaters, hats, scarves... it's all good! Some of the stitches that show this yarn well: Moss Stitch, Stocking Stitch, Garter Stitch, Double crochet!
