Upcycled Alpaca Silk is a luxurious blend of 75% baby alpaca and 25% mulberry silk, carefully crafted in Peru. This exceptional yarn is created from excess fibers that would normally be discarded during the production process, giving them new life in your next knitting or crochet project.
The baby alpaca comes from the first shearing of young alpacas, providing softer and warmer fibers. Mulberry silk is the finest and most sought-after silk, unparalleled in smoothness and luster.
The colors available are natural, classical, and timeless. Upcycled Alpaca Silk is perfect for crafting garments with an elegant drape and a silky sheen that will be cherished for years to come. Ideal for both adults and children, this yarn is gentle enough to be worn close to the skin, making it a great choice for sweaters, scarves, and other cozy creations. You just need a pair of 3.5 mm (US 4) knitting needles or a 4.5 mm (US 7) hook to start crafting with it.
Upcycled Alpaca Silk will elevate your creations with its unmatched softness, elegance, and comfort.
Note: We recommend securing enough yarn for your project, as the colors are a limited edition due to the nature of recycled fibers.

This yarn is incredibly soft and luxurious! It is definitely a true sport weight yarn, as I've noticed that some sport yarns are closer to fingering weight. With its beautiful heather appearance and lovely drape, I feel quite fancy while knitting it. I can't wait to wear it, as it feels wonderful to the touch!

I don’t think I’ve ever felt yarn this soft and I don’t think that’s being dramatic to state. I wish they had more colors in this yarn. Because I need every color. I haven’t made anything with this yarn yet, but my initial thought just from touching it has got me very excited

SO SOFT!
This is one of the softest yarns I’ve ever had!
I love the eco-friendly nature of the yarn with recycled materials, and the mulberry silk adds a super soft feel.
The colors are beautiful and very natural looking - perfect for a variety of projects!

This is my first time using alpaca yarn, and I absolutely love it!!! It’s so soft and super lightweight. I doubled up two skeins and I’m in the process of knitting a gorgeous winter hat. I love that it’s eco-friendly. Highly recommend this yarn!!

the softest & coziest yarn! this is one you'll want next to your skin! the silk creates the perfect base for the alpaca to shine! it's a sturdy yarn and won't come unraveled when ripped back and has the silkiest fabric feel when knit up!
