Product description

ULD & ALPACA is a two-stranded yarn that consists of 50 % local wool and 50 % Danish alpaca. The yarn may be used for beanies, sweaters and scarves and is very soft. There are surprising and very vivid variations in colours from dye lot to dye lot, as the colour of the yarn differs, depending on the colours of the alpacas.
