Why Use Alpaca Wool for Your Mitts?
Alpaca fibre offers outstanding natural benefits that make it ideal for accessories like mitts:
-
Hypoallergenic and Lanolin-Free
Gentle on the skin, alpaca contains no lanolin, making it perfect for those with allergies or sensitive skin.
-
Warm and Weather-Resistant
Naturally insulating, alpaca is up to 30% warmer than sheep’s wool and helps keep your hands toasty in cold conditions.
-
Lightweight and Breathable
Enjoy warmth without bulk. Alpaca wool is breathable and comfortable, even in changing weather.
-
Durable and Shape-Holding
Alpaca fibre resists stretching and retains its shape, so your mitts stay looking great wear after wear.
We recommend using our 8ply yarn, a luxurious blend of 95% New Zealand Super Soft Baby Alpaca and 5% NZ Merino, for a beautifully soft and durable finish.
Create your own pair of warm, lightweight mitts with this easy-to-follow alpaca pattern—perfect for everyday wear or thoughtful handmade gifts.
