Description

Gazzal Peru Alpaca – Fine Alpaca Warmth for Winter Knits

Gazzal Peru Alpaca brings the exceptional comfort of the Andes to your needles. This sophisticated yarn blends the incredible warmth of Superfine Alpaca with soft Merino wool and durable acrylic. The result is a thread that is surprisingly lightweight yet provides superior insulation against the cold. It offers a subtle, fuzzy halo that adds character to any project without obscuring the stitch definition.

💡 Tip: Because Alpaca fiber is naturally warmer than sheep's wool, you can knit thinner, lighter garments that still keep you incredibly toasty. It is perfect for fine winter sweaters that fit comfortably under coats.

Why choose this alpaca blend?

  • Superior Insulation: Alpaca fiber is hollow, making it thermally efficient. It traps body heat effectively, making this yarn ideal for hats, gloves, and winter scarves.
  • Soft & Strong: The blend combines the softness of Merino and Alpaca with the strength of acrylic, ensuring your finished garments resist felting and hold their shape well over time.
  • Elegant Texture: The yarn creates a fabric with a polished, slightly rustic look that works beautifully for both plain stockinette stitch and intricate cable patterns.

TIPS & TRICKS

Pro Tip: Alpaca relaxes when wet, so wash and dry your swatch flat before checking it against the 24 stitches per 10 cm gauge. For extra halo and warmth, hold it together with Gazzal Super Kid Mohair on a needle about one size larger.

FAQ

Here are some answers that might help.
If you cannot find what you're looking for, ask us directly

About Product

Is Gazzal Peru Alpaca itchy?

Most people find it soft rather than scratchy, because the wool share is merino and the alpaca is superfine grade, blended with 50% acrylic. Alpaca gives a light halo, so a very sensitive neck may notice a slight tickle. Hold a swatch against your neck for a few minutes before starting a high-necked sweater.

How many balls of Gazzal Peru Alpaca for a sweater?

An adult sweater in size M usually needs about 10–12 balls. DK-weight pullovers typically take 1,100–1,400 m, and each 50 g ball holds 120 m, so 1,100–1,400 m ÷ 120 m gives 10–12 balls. Cables, a longer body or an oversized fit push you to the top of that range, so buy from one dye lot.

Gazzal Peru Alpaca or DROPS Lima for a winter sweater?

Both are DK alpaca blends; the difference is fibre content. Peru Alpaca is 50% acrylic with 25% superfine alpaca and 25% merino at 120 m per 50 g, a lighter and easier-going fabric. DROPS Lima is 65% wool and 35% alpaca at 100 m per 50 g, all natural fibre, with a woollier, more rustic feel.

Can you crochet with Gazzal Peru Alpaca?

Yes, it crochets nicely on a 3–4 mm hook, the same range as the knitting needles. Alpaca blends drape more than pure sheep's wool, so crocheted hats, mittens and scarves come out soft and flexible rather than stiff. For a firmer hat brim or mitten cuff, work those parts with the 3 mm hook.
