52 Wool 22 Alpaca 26 Nylon Brushed Cone Yarn · 1/4.3Nm · China

This brushed wool-alpaca blend yarn is soft, airy, and gently haloed, with a warm, cloud-like handfeel and a plush brushed surface. Spun at 1/4.3Nm, it is light yet lofty, making it especially suited to cozy knitwear and soft-textured garments with a quiet sense of comfort.

The brushed finish gives the yarn a soft halo that blurs stitch definition into a hazy, atmospheric surface. Its tone is understated and enveloping, especially suitable for relaxed sweaters, wraps, and minimal designs where softness and warmth take the lead.

As an industrial surplus yarn, this cone provides consistency in spinning quality while maintaining flexibility for creative development. The alpaca content brings warmth and a fine halo, the wool adds softness and structure, and the nylon lends resilience and lasting shape.

Important Notes

• This yarn is soft and lofty, with a brushed halo and gentle warmth
• The brushed surface may shed lightly at first, which settles with handling and wear
• For best results, swatch before production to test tension and fabric density
• Cone yarn is different from skein yarn and must always be swatched before knitting to evaluate shrinkage and gauge
• A gentle steam or light wash relaxes the fibers and brings out the full halo
• For added structure, it can be combined with a finer base yarn or held alone for maximum softness
• Some cones may be rewound onto empty cones without original mill labels
• May have mild outer dust or storage marks
• Sold as is, without retail packaging
• All yarns are 100% functional with no visible flaws or defects affecting usability
• Please note that cone yarn is wound in an industrial format
• In rare cases, internal breaks may not be visible from the outside of the cone
• Please allow approximately 5%–6% knitting loss, which is standard for cone yarn handling
• In case of yarn breaks, pull away about 10 cm of yarn before rejoining and secure with a small cross-knot to reduce tension and avoid distortion in the knitted fabric
