CARE INSTRUCTIONS

Wool garments benefit from regular airing. Remove small stains locally using a cloth dampened with diluted wool detergent, then rinse with water.
Turn the garment inside out and hand wash in lukewarm water (max. 30 °C / 86 °F). Rinse gently in plenty of water. Alpacotton garments may also be washed on a gentle machine cycle. Use a liquid detergent suitable for wool.
Remove excess water by rolling the garment flat inside a terry towel and pressing gently. Shape the garment to size and dry flat on a towel. Avoid heat and direct sunlight during drying. Do not tumble dry.

CONCEPT BY KATIA
ALPACOTTON NATURAL COLORS, 50 g

This soft and airy lightweight yarn is made by combining fine Huayaca alpaca wool, ecru-colored cotton, and soft sheep’s wool. The beautiful shades of the yarn come directly from the alpaca’s natural colors: ecru, beige, and three gentle shades of gray ranging from light gray to natural black. Thanks to the blend of three natural fibers, the yarn has a beautifully melange appearance. The yarn is pleasantly economical, offering 125 meters per 50 g skein.

The yarn is constructed using a chainette technique, where the fibers are spun together and knitted into a lightweight tube, similar to an i-cord structure. This construction allows the yarn to retain warmth while remaining light, breathable, and airy. Alpacotton is suitable for all seasons and is a wonderful choice for both children’s and adults’ knitwear — including lightweight summer sweaters and shawls.

The yarn is suitable for gentle machine washing, but for delicate garments we recommend airing and hand washing. The yarn is made in Italy.
