Andes – Pima Cotton & Baby Alpaca Yarn

Andes is a DK weight yarn crafted from a luxurious blend of 85% Pima Cotton and 15% Baby Alpaca, combining vegetable and animal fibers. This unique combination not only results in a yarn with a soft, breathable feel, but also influences the way it absorbs dye, creating one-of-a-kind dyeing results. The 4-ply texture adds durability while maintaining a smooth, silky feel that’s gentle on the skin.

Each 100g skein provides 328 yards (299 meters) of yarn, with a gauge of 23-26 sts = 4 inches, and it works beautifully with US 3-5 needles (3.25-3.75mm) or US E-4 to 7 hooks (3.5-4.5mm). The balance between Pima Cotton and Baby Alpaca gives Andes an exceptional mix of softness, breathability, and a touch of warmth, making it ideal for lightweight garments and accessories.

This base is ideal for dyeing, as the vegetable fibers (Pima Cotton) and animal fibers (Baby Alpaca) take dye differently.
