Our very high quality alpaca yarn Alpaca Lace is a wonderful product of 100% alpaca wool, whereas we respect the animals, the environment and people. In recent years the market was flooded with cheap alpaca wool. There was a strategy of ordering large quantities to keep the prices low as possible. As a result, spinning mills and farmers came under pressure.  They have had to reduce the costs and shorn the animals earlier than they should be shorn. In view of this, a lot of alpacas died from cold. Pascuali does do something like this under no circumstances. We pay fair prices, which every one benefit from and no one has a bad conscience.     

Alpacas are shorn once a year and the fiber is spun then to the high-qualitaty wool. Alpaca wool warms better, than sheep wool and is perfectly suitable for those who are allergic to wool, because it is free of lanolin. The natural wool is easy to work with and has a uniform knit structure. Because of its high fineness, softness and lightness, the yarn is perfect for all fine knitwear with a lace pattern. It does not split during the knitting and is a little fluffy, but does not pill. That is why, this yarn is also good for knitting of baby clothing and blankets. Alpaca Lace is outstandingly suitable for dying.

The wool comes from Peru, where it is spun. The yarn, which you can order online at any time, is offered in three colours: wool white, mocca and mid-grey. It is delivered in 50g-skeins.

Care: It is better to wash your knitted fabric per hand, lukewarm, not more than 30 degrees and not in the washing machine. Please use only wool detergent for this fine yarn and dry lying if possible, ideally on a terry towel, in order to avoid deformation. You can also dry it on the foam hangers, but in no way close to the heat source.
