Hamanaka Alpanica Medium Yarn No. 008, 50% Baby Alpaca, 50% Wool, 30g Ball (Approx. 140m)

🧶 The exquisite softness of baby alpaca and the colours of the Finnish landscape

Hamanaka's "Alpanica (Medium Thick)" is a high-quality hand-knitted yarn that combines the moist softness of baby alpaca with the moderate elasticity of wool.

Knitting loosely twisted fibers into a lily yarn structure makes it light, warm, and extremely soft to the touch. Our unique technique of dyeing the fibers while they are still in their original state and then blending them creates beautiful, deep colors. It's recommended for sweaters, cardigans, and even accessories like scarves and hats.

Another attractive feature is the calming color range inspired by the Finnish landscape.
