Why you'll love it

Halo by Alpaca Yarns is the kind of yarn that makes you pause mid-stitch just to feel it again. Spun from 100% brushed baby alpaca, this beautifully soft yarn has a light, airy halo that gives every project a touch of quiet luxury.

Each 50g ball holds 150 metres of warmth and fluff, sitting comfortably in the double knit range and leaning towards a 10ply. The brushed alpaca fibres create a gentle haze around your stitches, giving garments and accessories a soft, dreamy finish while still showing off beautiful texture. Gorgeous on its own or held with another yarn.

Halo is perfect for cosy sweaters, scarves and accessories that feel as special to wear as they are to knit - and a great alternative for those who don't like the feel of mohair. Warm, featherlight and wonderfully soft, it’s a yarn that turns everyday making into something a little bit magical.

Available in a beautiful palette of earthy, wintery hues.

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.
