CARE INSTRUCTIONS

Wool garments love fresh air, so air them frequently. Small stains can be removed locally with a cloth dampened in diluted wool detergent and rinsed with clean water.

Turn the garment inside out and hand wash gently in lukewarm water (max. 30°C). Use a liquid detergent specifically designed for wool. Rinse gently without wringing.

Remove excess water by rolling the reshaped garment inside a towel and pressing gently. Reshape to measurements and dry flat. Avoid heat and direct sunlight while drying. Do not tumble dry.

AIR ALPACA NATURAL COLORS, 50 g

This soft, fluffy and refined single-ply blend yarn contains 60% alpaca, 17% cotton, 13% polyamide and 10% wool. The shades of this high-quality yarn come directly from the natural colours of alpaca fleece. The yarn features a lively speckled effect created by carding together alpaca fibres of different natural colours.

Although the yarn looks voluminous, it is wonderfully lightweight and soft. It works up quickly on larger needles.

Air Alpaca Natural Colors is ideal for sweaters and cardigans as well as eye-catching accessories such as beanies, hoods, scarves and cowls. With just six balls, you can knit a long-sleeved women’s sweater in size 38–40 (EU) | M (US). If you are looking for something especially warm that knits up quickly, this yarn is the perfect choice.

The alpaca fibre originates from Peru and is sourced according to fair and responsible trade principles (Peruvian Fair Trade). The yarn is spun in Italy.
