Peruvian Essential Alpaca wool
Do you love yarns with Alpaca content? You probably like its softness, resistance, and durability, or perhaps its capacity for maintaining warmth in a much lighter fiber. In any case, if you love knitting Peruvian alpaca wool, here is Essential Alpaca in Aran weight, perfect for knitting with 4-mm needles. You can make all kinds of garments with it: soft, cozy sweaters, practical cardigans, cute mittens... And comfortably machine wash them! Let the stitches flow across your needles while you connect with the essence of this exclusive Superfine alpaca combined with Merino Superwash wool.
Each ball weighs 50 grams and is 80 meters. This is a medium weight yarn and we recommend using size 4 - 4.5mm (6 - 7 U.S) knitting needles or 4.5 - 5mm (6 - 7 US) crochet hook. 12 balls of yarn are required to make a woman’s long sleeve jumper in size 12. To make a 4x4” tension square work 17 sts and 24 rows. Machine washable up to 30ºC on a wool cycle. Do not tumble dry.

Nice yarn but length of yarn is very short
Had a huge problem with my first attempt using this because it was not spelled out that the yarn in each ball is much shorter than average. So I have had to reorder and re knit garment. Not what I wanted to do, but I also didn’t want to waste what I had already purchased.

The fibres are very short
Not high quality yarn. The fibres are quite short and coarse in places. The yarn also isn’t as soft as I expected.

Very coarse
This yarn is very coarse, the fibres are short. It feels more like normal coarse wool rather than merino or alpaca. I'm not sure what this could be used for. I would return if I could. Big mistake
