Lineapiù Melrose Alpaca Blend Brushed Cone Yarn

This softly brushed alpaca blend yarn offers warmth, lightness, and a gentle halo with a quietly elegant surface. Spun at 1/5.5Nm, Melrose balances softness and resilience through a carefully engineered blend of alpaca, polyamide, wool, and elastic fiber, creating a yarn that feels airy yet stable in fabric.

The color Col.708 Beige is a calm, understated neutral — warm and natural without appearing flat. Its softly heathered surface and subtle alpaca bloom create depth and texture that work beautifully for timeless knitwear and layered winter pieces.

As an industrial surplus yarn from Lineapiù, this cone reflects the refined material development typically found in Italian fashion manufacturing. The yarn carries a soft brushed character while remaining practical and versatile for both hand knitting and machine knitting applications.

Important Notes

• This yarn has a soft brushed surface and natural alpaca halo

• Due to the alpaca-rich composition, gentle handling is recommended during knitting

• Cone yarn is different from standard yarn balls — always knit and wash a gauge swatch before starting your final project to test shrinkage, drape, and stitch density

• Some cones are 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 2%–3% 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.
