Why you'll love it

Looking for a DK yarn that captures the softness of mohair without the fuss of holding multiple strands? Whisper DK combines the elegance of mohair and the strength of silk in a luminous 8ply weight.

Whisper DK is perfect for lightweight garments, shawls and accessories, for knitters and crocheters who love lightness, drape and luxury in every stitch while keeping things simple and versatile.

The silk gives the yarn strength and a gentle sheen, while the mohair adds that signature halo. It’s soft, airy and warm without being bulky. The stitch definition is lovely, especially in lace or simple stockinette, and the fabric drapes beautifully.

Because it’s DK weight, there’s no need to hold mohair and another yarn together - Whisper DK does it all. It’s a great option for popular patterns that call for multiple strands of laceweight mohair together, like many of the PetiteKnit designs.

Whisper DK is a joy to knit and even better to wear. Try it for your next garment or wrap and enjoy the elegance it brings to every stitch.

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 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.
