Desiree — 100% Huacaya Alpaca Worsted Weight Yarn | Fehrenbach Fibers

Meet Desiree

Desiree is a huacaya alpaca whose fleece becomes this beautiful 3-ply worsted weight yarn — pure, soft, and full of the natural warmth that huacaya alpaca is celebrated for. Huacaya fiber has a crimpy, fluffy character that gives this yarn a lovely loft and bounce, setting it apart from the silkier suri.

Naturally hypoallergenic, warmer than wool, and incredibly soft against the skin — this is a yarn that earns its place in any project bag.
