King Cole Natural Alpaca DK – 4326 Slate

Description

Pure Alpaca Softness That Makes Every DK Project a Pleasure

King Cole Natural Alpaca DK gives you the genuine warmth and feather-light drape of 100% superfine alpaca in a practical DK weight — ideal for casting on a relaxed fitted jumper, a cosy cowl, or a delicate baby blanket where softness against skin really matters. The natural fibre halo adds a gentle bloom to your finished fabric without overwhelming your stitch work, so cables and simple textures still read beautifully.

Superfine Alpaca: Silky, Lightweight and Wonderfully Warm

Spun from superfine alpaca, this yarn feels noticeably smooth and soft in your hands — none of the scratchiness you might associate with wool at a similar weight. It knits up with a fluid drape and a subtle sheen, making it especially rewarding for fitted yoke cardigans or lacy shawls where the fabric needs to move and fall gracefully.

Natural Tones That Let the Fibre Speak

The colour palette draws on the inherent, undyed shades of the alpaca fleece — creamy whites, warm fawns, and soft greys that carry a quiet, natural elegance. These tones work beautifully together in striped accessories or as a clean, unfussy base for textured stitch patterns.

Surprisingly Practical for a Natural Luxury Fibre

Alpaca is naturally hypoallergenic and lanolin-free, making it a thoughtful choice for knitting gifts for those with wool sensitivities, including babies and young children. The 50g ball at 100m per skein gives you a manageable project quantity, and the DK weight means your cowls and hats work up at a satisfying pace on 4mm needles.
