Playful without being overly bright, the little flecks of colour reveal themselves differently from stitch to stitch.\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDyed by hand in small batches using natural dyes, each skein is completely unique, with subtle variations that are part of the beauty of the natural dyeing process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis colourway is dyed onto an exceptionally luxurious \u003cstrong\u003e100% Imperial Alpaca\u003c\/strong\u003e base. At just \u003cstrong\u003e18 microns\u003c\/strong\u003e, Imperial alpaca is finer and softer than baby alpaca, creating an incredibly smooth, soft yarn that feels wonderful next to the skin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike many alpaca yarns, this base has been spun with a \u003cstrong\u003ehigh twist\u003c\/strong\u003e, giving it beautiful stitch definition and a little more structure and body. This helps reduce the characteristic drape or ‘drop’ of alpaca while still retaining its wonderful softness and fluidity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNatural dyes are taken up particularly softly by this fibre, giving Birthday Cake its delicate, slightly muted character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYarn details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e100% Imperial Alpaca \/ 18 micron\u003cbr\u003e4ply \/ fingering weight\u003cbr\u003e100g skein \/ Approx. 400m\u003cbr\u003e2 ply | 24 WPI\u003cbr\u003eSuggested needle size: 2.50-4mm\u003cbr\u003eGauge: 28 sts × 46 rows\u003cbr\u003eHigh twist\u003cbr\u003eNon-superwash\u003cbr\u003eOeko-Tex certified\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePerfect for lightweight jumpers and cardigans, shawls, scarves and other projects where you want exceptional softness with beautiful stitch definition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003ePlease treat your yarn gently and hand wash in cool water using a pH-neutral wool wash.
