Quechua Alpaca is a fair trade line of 100% baby alpaca yarn made in Peru, offered here in fingering and DK weight. Colors range from natural undyed neutrals to dyed shades, so you can choose alpaca's own range of tans, grays, and browns or a wider dyed palette.
Baby alpaca refers to the finest, softest grade of alpaca fiber. Quechua Alpaca offers it both undyed, letting the fiber's natural neutral tones come through, and dyed, for knitters who want more color range without giving up the softness and warmth baby alpaca is known for. That flexibility makes these yarns a good match for an understated, natural palette or a more vivid project, depending on what you're after.
Both the fingering and DK weight options are 100% baby alpaca, so expect the fiber's typical warmth and heavier drape rather than the springiness of wool — a good fit for shawls, wraps, and garments where softness and warmth matter more than crisp stitch definition. As with most pure alpaca, hand washing is recommended to keep the fiber's softness intact over time.
