100% Baby Alpaca loop yarn for the quality-conscious knitter.

If you want texture in your sweater, choose a loop alpaca yarn.

The loops in 100% alpaca yarn create wonderful knitting surfaces alone or together with another yarn. Running alpaca yarn is available in natural alpaca colors. The yarns are undyed and have not been treated with chemicals, so they retain the superior properties typical of alpaca fiber.

The yarn is made in Peru and the shades of the yarn vary less than our artisan yarns. However, please reserve enough yarn for the knitwear you are planning. If necessary, we help in assessing the need for yarn.

You can make e.g. a warm snooze blanket or a soft November beanie.

The Alpaca Royal alpaca beanie is suitable for everyone, from baby to elder.

A perfect, timeless alpaca beanie in fine and natural alpaca colors that matches any outfit.

Our beanie is suitable for men, women and children (from 6 months) and retains its stylish appearance for a long time. If you only get one headpiece, it's this one.

The warm and breathable alpaca beanie repels moisture and is hypoallergenic. Our alpaca beanie is suitable for outdoor activities (from jogging to ice skating and everything in between) and for neat dressing. Alpaca hats are made in a small Finnish weaving mill.

The products of the Alpaca Royal collection are made from the best 100% Royal alpaca fiber (≤ 18 µm) on the market. Thanks to their fine quality fiber, the products of the Alpaca Royal family remain unchanged in appearance even for years and are very durable. You don't need to wash the sweaters much, Alpaca wool does not bind odors, but often just airing the sweater is enough.

In the manufacture of the sweater, special attention has been paid to responsibility. Our alpaca knits are not dyed. Each color is a genuine, original color of the alpaca that produces the wool. Thanks to the chemical-free production process, the properties of the top quality fiber are transferred to the garment.

Untreated Alpaca wool breathes and regulates body temperature, so the sweater always feels right against the skin. Even in the summer heat, the Alpaca Royal sweater feels pleasant. Alpaca wool repels water so well that even heavy rains do not wet the sweater. Alpaca Royal products are also hypoallergenic and do not sting even sensitive skin.

Tip: If your alpaca beanie starts to feel stretched over time, wet/wash the beanie and let it dry. Due to the elastic knit, the undyed alpaca fiber returns to its original shape.
