Description

NAKO Peru Color – Alpaca-Wool Blend with Long Color Runs

NAKO Peru Color brings together the softness of alpaca, the warmth of wool and the easy care of acrylic in a light, DK-weight yarn. Each 100 g cake holds 310 m dyed in long color sections, so stripes and soft gradients appear on their own as you knit or crochet – no color changes, no extra ends to weave in. The light alpaca haze makes the fabric cozy and gentle against the skin, perfect for sweaters, cardigans, shawls and winter accessories.

💡 Mix & Match: Want to calm the color play? Frame the gradient with a solid yarn of similar thickness for cuffs, collars or borders – Gazzal Peru Alpaca uses a comparable alpaca, wool and acrylic blend.

Why choose this colorful alpaca blend?

  • Color Without Effort: Long dye runs form stripes and gradients by themselves – even plain stocking stitch looks rich.
  • Warm but Light: Alpaca and wool trap heat well, while the light DK weight keeps sweaters and cardigans comfortable indoors and under a coat.
  • Soft Halo: The alpaca content gives a gentle, fuzzy surface that feels pleasant on the skin and blooms nicely after washing.

TIPS & TRICKS

Mix & Match: Pull the inner and outer ends of one cake and knit them held together: the two color runs overlap into a softer, marled gradient and a thicker fabric for quick scarves and cowls. Swatch first, since doubling needs larger needles than the label's 3.5–4 mm.

About Product

How many cakes of Nako Peru Color do I need for a sweater?

For an adult pullover, plan on about 4–5 cakes. With 310 m per 100 g, that covers the 1,100–1,500 m a typical sweater at this thickness uses, depending on size and length. A cardigan with a collar or a long body may need one more. Divide your pattern's total meters by 310 to check.

What can I knit with one cake of Nako Peru Color?

One 310 m cake covers a beanie with yarn to spare, a snood or cowl, a pair of mittens, or a narrow scarf. The color runs show off well on pieces worked flat in rows, like a scarf, where each section forms a broad stripe. Hats worked in the round use more yarn per round, so they show narrower bands.

Nako Peru Color vs Gazzal Peru Alpaca: what's the difference?

Both use the same 50% acrylic, 25% alpaca, 25% wool structure. Nako Peru Color is dyed in long color sections, so stripes and gradients appear as you knit, with 310 m per 100 g. Gazzal Peru Alpaca uses superfine alpaca and merino wool. Choose Peru Color when you want the yarn to do the colorwork.

How do I get even stripes across a Nako Peru Color sweater?

Knit the body from two cakes, switching every two rows, so long color sections blend instead of forming one wide band. Start both sleeves at the same color point for symmetry. Pieces of different widths stripe differently, so a body knitted in the round gives more even bands than a separate front and back.
