Intifil Inca Tops 65 Baby Alpaca 35 Linen Cone Yarn

This refined alpaca-linen blend combines the quiet softness of baby alpaca with the natural texture and dry elegance of linen. Spun in Peru by Intifil at 2/28Nm, the yarn offers a balanced structure — airy yet grounded, soft yet subtly crisp.

The natural shade EB029 reveals the material character honestly: the gentle halo and warmth of alpaca softened by the understated irregularity of linen fiber. The result is calm, tactile, and deeply suited to makers drawn to natural textures and quiet luxury.

While baby alpaca provides softness and warmth without heaviness, the linen introduces breathable structure and a lightly rustic surface, creating a yarn that feels both refined and organic. Especially beautiful for transitional garments, lightweight knitwear, and textured woven pieces.

As an industrial surplus yarn, this cone reflects the beauty of practical mill production — thoughtfully sourced for makers who appreciate material integrity and understated sophistication.

• 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

• Cone yarn differs from hand wound yarn balls — always knit and wash a swatch before beginning your final project to test gauge and shrinkage behavior

• 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
