Amano Ayni Baby Alpaca with Mulberry Silk 4ply
Truly a luxury yarn, the alpaca and mulberry silk mix results in a buttery soft and cosy yarn with a lovely smoothness and sheen, a delight to handle and work with! Perfect for anything from gloves and hats to light but very warm jumpers and cardigans.
Amano says: "Ayni in Quechua (the native language of the Incas) means 'exchange system'.
Ayni represents an ancient trading system of the Andes. We blended Baby alpaca and Mulberry silk to directly bring you this experience of ancestral exchange in the softest and coziest way. This unique blend of raw materials has been sourced and carefully chosen to make a very special yarn to knit and crochet with love and care."
