Isager Alpaca 3 is a luxurious blend of wool and alpaca, offering a wonderfully soft and warm chunky-weight yarn. Its unique chainette construction creates a knitted tube structure, making it incredibly lightweight while providing exceptional yardage for its weight.
Garments and accessories made with Isager Alpaca 3 are ultra-soft against the skin, thanks to the high alpaca content, and provide excellent warmth and coziness. This yarn is ideal for sweaters, scarves, cowls, and other cold-weather projects where comfort and softness are key.
Suggested Gauge & Needles
-
Recommended gauge: 16 stitches x 20 rows = 10cm x 10cm
-
Also works well at a standard chunky weight gauge of 14 stitches over 10cm
-
Suggested needle size: 5mm - 6.5mm needles (adjust as needed for desired fabric)
As with all projects, we highly recommend knitting a gauge swatch before starting to ensure the fabric meets your expectations. This yarn has a tendency to relax and grow after blocking, so soaking and drying your swatch will give a more accurate result.
