CARE INSTRUCTIONS

Alpaca knitwear benefits from regular care to keep it looking beautiful even after many wears. The best first step is airing the garment, as alpaca fibre naturally repels dirt. Small stains can be removed locally with a cloth dampened with diluted wool detergent.

To freshen your garment, lay it flat on a clean surface. Lightly mist the surface with water using a spray bottle, then gently brush the fabric in one direction with a soft clothes brush. Regular care helps extend the time between washes, allowing you to enjoy your precious knitwear for a long time.

Hand wash your alpaca knitwear gently. Use a mild liquid wool detergent and lukewarm water (20°C). Move the garment gently through plenty of water; do not soak or rub. Rinse thoroughly with cool water.

Reshape the garment to its original measurements and lay it flat to dry, for example on a large terry towel. Roll up the towel and gently press out excess water. Dry the garment flat on a towel in a well-ventilated place. Avoid heat and direct sunlight while drying.

Katia Silk-Alpaca is a luxurious and sophisticated lace yarn. A soft alpaca fibre is spun around a silky core yarn, giving the yarn its beautiful, airy halo. Made from high-quality alpaca fibre and prestigious Mulberry silk, this lightweight yarn is perfect for knitting delicate and elegant sweaters and tops, as well as luxurious accessories. Thanks to its lightness and breathability, the yarn is suitable for year-round wear – a lovely short-sleeved alpaca top would be equally beautiful for both mother and daughter.

Silk-Alpaca can also be knitted double or combined with another fine yarn. We especially recommend Concept by Katia Alpaca Lace as a companion yarn. Our selection of Silk-Alpaca includes four elegant shades of beige and grey.

Fil Katia S.A is a Spanish manufacturer of craft yarns, established in 1951. Silk-Alpaca yarn is spun in Peru according to Fair Trade principles.
