Soft as a cloud and incredibly versatile too - BC Garn Baby Alpaca is an absolute winner for all your lightweight-yet-cozy project needs. The fine fibres contain microscopic air pockets that supercharge its insulating properties. In fact Baby Alpaca is five times warmer than regular wool. This is a luxuriously soft yarn - with a super smooth structure - and it's strong and elastic too. To top it all off this yarn comes in an absolutely breathtaking colour range.  BC Garn Baby Alpaca can be knit at a variety of tensions. We would call is a "light fingering" weight but it would work so well in elegant 4ply designs too - just be sure your project is aiming for lightness and drape and then you'll be on the right track.
