Why choose Alize Angora Real 40?
  • 40% Wool Content: Angora Real 40 is 60% acrylic and 40% wool, twice the wool share of Angora Gold, in a fine, softly hazy strand for warmer accessories and light winter layers. It contains no angora fiber.
  • Wide Needle Range: Alize gives an unusually wide 2.5–5 mm needle and 1–4 mm hook range: small sizes make a dense fabric for hats and mittens, larger ones let the haze fill an open shawl.
  • Light but Warm Pieces: Thin cardigans, vests, hats and shawls stay light to wear while the wool adds real warmth. Hand wash at 30°C maximum, dry flat and avoid the tumble dryer.
Description

Alize Angora Real 40 – Everyday Warmth with Extra Wool

Alize Angora Real 40 is designed for those who need a little more warmth in their lightweight knits. Unlike the standard Angora blend, this version boasts double the wool content (40%), making your creations noticeably cozier and more insulating. It is a versatile choice for everything from thin but warm cardigans to generous shawls and winter accessories.

💡 Tip: This yarn is incredibly adaptable. Knit with a single strand for airy, delicate pieces, or hold two strands together to create a thick, fluffy, and very warm winter garment.

Why choose this wool-rich blend?

  • Enhanced Warmth: With 40% wool, this yarn provides excellent insulation, ensuring your garments are not just stylish but truly practical for cold weather.
  • Subtle Fuzz: The yarn has a gentle halo that adds texture and softness without being as long or high-maintenance as mohair.
  • Great Value: With 480 meters (525 yds) per ball, it is highly economical – one ball is often enough for a large scarf or a vest.

TIPS & TRICKS

Pro Tip: With such a wide needle range, knit a 15 cm swatch, wash it and let it dry flat before measuring. Hazy wool blends relax and bloom after washing, so gauge taken on the needles can mislead you on fitted pieces.

FAQ

Here are some answers that might help.

About Product

Is Alize Angora Real 40 made of real angora?

No, it contains no angora rabbit fiber. Alize Angora Real 40 is 60% acrylic and 40% wool; the 40 matches the wool share, and Angora describes the soft, lightly hazy look. You get extra warmth from the wool without the heavy shedding and delicate care that true angora needs.

How many balls of Angora Real 40 for a sweater?

Most adult sweaters need 3–4 balls knit with a single strand. Each 100 g ball holds 430 m, and a light adult pullover typically uses 1,200–1,600 m depending on size and stitch, so 1,600 ÷ 430 rounds up to 4. Held double for a thick, cozy fabric, the count roughly doubles to 6–8 balls.

Angora Real 40 vs Lanagold Fine: what's the difference?

Angora Real 40 has a soft halo, while Alize Lanagold Fine is smooth with crisper stitch definition. Lanagold Fine has a little more wool, 49% against 40%, at 390 m per 100 g; Angora Real 40 is slightly finer at 430 m. Choose Real 40 for fluffy shawls and hats, and Lanagold Fine for cables, colorwork and fitted garments.

Can I knit socks with Alize Angora Real 40?

It is not a good fit for everyday socks. Sock yarns usually include nylon for strength at heels and toes, and Angora Real 40 has none, so the hazy acrylic-wool strand is likely to wear thin and pill sooner. For socks, choose a dedicated sock yarn such as Alize Superwash Comfort Socks and keep Real 40 for bed socks.
