Malabrigo Baby Silkpaca

Silkpaca is as soft as a cloud! This luscious lace is 70% baby alpaca and 30% silk. Silkpaca has a delicate, fluffy halo and a soft sheen. Combine this base with Malabrigo’s signature colorways and you get a yarn that is a delight to squeeze, work with, and wear!

Malabrigo Silkpaca is a fine lace wight yarn. It works up into beautiful lace, but it can also be worked up held with other yarns for a bigger gauge.

The best part about this wonderful yarn is the drape your project will have when you complete it. The alpaca gives the garment its drape, while the silk holds it in shape. Strength and softness, the perfect combination! It is our top choice for making lace shawls, scarfs, or any wearable you put around your neck or on your shoulders. Use it to knit, crochet, or weave. Whatever your project, you will love the fabric this yarn makes.

Like to felt?  This yarn will felt is you wash it in the machine.  I use it as design accents in felted handbags, hats, etc.
