Season Alpaca is a spectacularly beautiful yarn, glowing with its own inner light! Experience the unparalleled softness of this ultimate alpaca yarn.

About This Yarn

• This 100% super baby alpaca is the most special grade of Peruvian alpaca available, hand sorted for quality and amazing softness.
• Season Alpaca's multi-strand structure (eight plies that are actually plied strands themselves!) results in an incredibly strong and even yarn that creates smooth stockinette and beautiful stitch definition.
• A sport-weight yarn with a gentle heft and just the right drape, Season Alpaca is also hypoallergenic with its near lack of lanolin. We love it for almost anything you can think of knitting or crocheting.
• Cast on with Season Alpaca’s gorgeous palette of gently heathered colors, inspired by nature’s most stirring moments: a blooming peony, a ripened fig, or a nesting dove.
• Sweaters, hats, blankets, mittens, scarves, and cowls are all perfect candidates for this not-too-heavy, not-too-fuzzy, not-too-hot, totally timeless pure alpaca. Explore all our Season Alpaca knitting patterns for some beautiful inspiration!
