Isager Alpaca 2 is a fingering-weight yarn made from 50% alpaca and 50% wool, offering a balance of softness, structure, and crisp stitch definition for knitting sweaters, accessories, baby garments, and lightweight layers. This versatile two-ply yarn has enough elasticity for cables, lace, and textured knitting, while the alpaca adds gentle warmth and a soft, airy finish. With 273 yards per 50g skein, Alpaca 2 also blends beautifully with other Isager yarns for custom fabric combinations and color effects. Spun and dyed in Peru using Peruvian alpaca and South American wool, it is available in both richly dyed shades and natural undyed colors.
