Sandnes Garn Alpakka Silke

Sandnes Garn Alpakka Silke – Luxuriously Soft Alpaca and Silk Yarn

Sandnes Garn Alpakka Silke is a high-quality and luxurious yarn that combines the exceptional softness of alpaca with the elegant sheen of silk. This lightweight and breathable yarn feels pleasantly cool against the skin and is ideal for sensitive skin as well as garments worn directly against the body.

The alpaca fiber (20–23 microns) is one of the softest natural fibers used in knitting yarns. Combined with the smooth and refined surface of silk, the result is a unique yarn that is warm, lightweight, and beautifully draping. The finished knit has a refined look with a natural sheen.

Both alpaca and silk have excellent temperature-regulating properties. Alpaca retains warmth efficiently without feeling heavy, while silk absorbs moisture and enhances breathability. Additionally, alpaca is naturally lanolin-free, making this yarn suitable for those sensitive to wool.
