Isager - Alpaca 2
ISAGER ALPACA 2 is a two-thread yarn consisting of 50% wool and 50% alpaca. The yarn is characterized by its softness and is very suitable for baby clothes. If you knit the yarn alone, it is beautiful in a cardigan, but be aware that it works best in garments that are not exposed to wear and tear. A soft yarn is never as durable as a yarn spun from a harder fiber. In return, the yarn is fine in shawls and together with other qualities.
- Material: 50% alpaca and 50% wool
- Weight / length: 50 grams = 250 meters.
- The yarn is spun and dyed in Peru
- The work should be washed by hand with wool detergent and then dried flat.

About color rendering
We always do our utmost to ensure that the product images reproduce the colors correctly. However, monitors display colors differently, some may display them deeper and stronger while others brighter. We therefore cannot guarantee that the pictures show the exact color of the yarn. You can always email us at info@lillagarnbutiken.se if you want to see more pictures.
Wash and care
This yarn is best washed by hand with wool detergent, for example Eucalan. Leave the garment in a tub with about 4 liters of water together with a teaspoon of wool detergent. Then gently squeeze out the water and place the garment on a towel. Roll the towel with the garment and squeeze out the water.
If you have a washing machine that can run a spin-only program, you can use this instead of squeezing out the water in a towel. If you are unsure about your washing machine, we recommend that you knit a test patch that you wash and spin to see how the yarn and fabric behave.
Let the garment dry flat, preferably on a towel.
