Sandnes Garn Brstet Alpakka

Brstet Alpakka from Sandnes Garn is a beautifully soft and airy yarn, created by twisting luxurious alpaca fibres around a fine nylon core before brushing. The result is a light, fluffy texture that gives garments a gentle halo and a luxurious feel while remaining wonderfully lightweight.

Alpaca fibres are naturally warm about three times warmer than ordinary wool yet breathable and comfortable to wear across all seasons. The hollow structure of the fibre helps regulate temperature, keeping you warm in the cold and cool in the heat.
