Gimre Alpaca is made of fiber from alpaca kria (Baby Alpaca), mixed with the softest lambswool from the Norwegian crossbreed breeds. By mixing alpaca fiber with lambswool, the yarn gets the good properties of wool, combined with the lovely, soft touch of alpaca. The yarn is luxurious and suitable for garments that need to be extra soft, such as hats, headbands, scarves and slightly nicer sweaters. These lovely yarns come in three naturally occurring colors, without any chemical treatment involved.
