Natural, organic, dye-free alpaca

The Rare Earth range was developed to take advantage of the wonderful, natural dye-free colours displayed by Alpacas. With an organic rating from BioFach we seek the highest quality natural fibres from rare and unusual breeds, with a special emphasis on similar fibre length to lessen pilling, and micron count to enhance handle. We recommend careful hand washing to ensure the long life of your treasured hand knits. Yarn specifications>
