Perfect For
Cosy jumpers, cardigans, scarves, shawls, cowls, beanies, and special accessories. Works beautifully in garter stitch, stockinette, or textured patterns where the halo can really shine. Ideal for thoughtful handmade gifts, special occasion knits, or treating yourself.
Knitting Tips
The soft halo slightly blurs stitch definition, so simple, elegant designs often look their best. Use slightly larger needles (5–6mm) for a light, airy fabric or smaller needles (4–4.5mm) for a denser, warmer finish. Check out our wide range of patterns for inspiration.
Why Baby Alpaca?
Contrary to the name, baby alpaca fibre isn’t from baby animals—it’s the finest, softest fibre from the alpaca’s first shearing. Warmer than merino, softer than cashmere, and naturally hypoallergenic, this yarn drapes beautifully and the brushed finish adds an extra layer of cloud-like softness.
