Baby Silk 4 Ply is a very luxurious yarn. The yarn count is 3/12nm giving 400m per 100g of super soft baby alpaca which is blended with mulberry silk. baby alpaca is incredibly warm, light weight and strong. It has hypoallergenic properties, it contains no lanolin, which makes the fibre safe to wear if you have skin allergies. Alpaca is said to be three times warmer than sheep wool, the fibres have excellent insulation properties whilst remaining light and breathable. The silk gives it a shiny smooth lustre which feels soft and luxurious to work with.

The yarn is 100% animal fibre and perfect for dyeing. To be successful we recommend using acid or natural dyes to create bright and vibrant colours, however, the natural colour of the yarn is very pale so pastel and lighter shades also work well.

Baby Silk 4 ply is especially suited to weaving, knitting and crochet; making scarves, shawls, wraps, baby and adult garments.
