Why you'll love it

Alpaca Yarns Tweedie Sox Easy Wash is the answer when you want warmth without the worry. If you love the softness of alpaca but need the strength and ease of everyday wear, this yarn delivers on all fronts. It’s also machine washable, making it a dream for socks and accessories alike.

With a blend of alpaca for softness and warmth, nylon for durability, and a touch of Donegal tweed for that perfect pop of texture, Tweedie Sox gives you all the charm of a hand-dyed yarn with the performance of a reliable 4ply.

The kettle-dyed colours come in rich tonal or semi-solid shades, each accented with little neps of colour for that classic tweedie look. 

One ball is enough for a pair of socks in most sock sizes.

It’s machine washable on a gentle cycle and even dryer friendly, making it practical for everyday wear. The alpaca is put through a new Sustainable Easy Wash treatment where enzymes eat part of the alpaca fibre that causes shrinkage. No acids or hard chemicals are used. 

Whether you're casting on socks, shawls, mitts or garments, Tweedie Sox brings softness and strength to your stitches. And if you’re already a fan of Sox Easy Wash, the colourways are designed to mix and match beautifully.

Wrap your feet or your whole self in softness, strength and tweedie charm.

Yarn Weight vs Yarn Ply

"Ply" technically refers to the construction of the yarn. It's the number of strands that are twisted together to make a single piece of yarn. While "ply" historically related to the thickness (or weight) of the yarn, today's spinning technology means that the number of plies doesn't always correspond directly to the thickness of the yarn.

However, in some countries, including Australia & the UK, the numbering system of yarn ply still refers to the thickness of the yarn, so it's possible to have a single ply 4ply yarn! - this means that the yarn is constructed of a single ply, but has the traditional thickness of a 4ply sock / fingering yarn).

For more information, please refer to our Hook, Needle & Yarn Guide and our blog A Quick Guide to Yarn Weights.

Alpaca Yarns Indiecita Baby Suri Silk Brushed – 4ply weight alpaca, silk yarn

Alpaca Yarns NZ

Alpaca Yarns began as a holiday. Jan was in Peru, walked through one of the world's great alpaca mills – Arequipa is where a huge share of the country's alpaca is combed and spun – and came home unable to let it go. There was a gap on the shelves here, and nobody was filling it.

So she took a considerable risk: her own first collection, spun entirely at that mill. That was about a decade ago. It's many ranges deep now, still run out of New Zealand, and still by Jan.

She flies over to see us two or three times a year, and we chat about where the gaps are – the yarn people keep asking for that nobody's making. If she thinks it can be done, she has it made. That's how a machine-washable alpaca comes to exist, which isn't something you can say about most alpaca.
