Description

Isager alpaca 2 is a beautiful lambswool (50%) and alpaca (50%) yarn used for all kinds of manual crafts, a.o. for handknitting sweaters, shawls, scarfs for children and adults.

This yarn’s main feature is its softness which makes it very suited for baby garments.
Used individually this yarn is also beautiful for an adult cardigan, but one should take into consideration that due to its softness this yarn is best suited for models not exposed to too much wear and tear. A soft yarn will never be as hard wearing as a yarn spun from a firmer wool which may also have been spun tighter. On the other hand, this yarn is very well suited for scarves and knitted together with our other yarns.

Please note: the orange color is softer than on the photo.
