Local Wool Study:
These are my own appreciations after knitting with the yarn
@alpacaselcamino project is one of my favourite yarns to work, as it is quite different from the rest of the yarns I usually knit with.
Arse is the heart behind this amazing project. Committed with the creation of unique yarns from his own flock of Alpacas & Angora goats. What I find more interesting in the project Alpacas El Camino is that, while keeping the well-being of his animals as his priority, Arse is a real explorer of natural fibres. He creates yarns mixing mohair, alpaca, merino wool & such interesting fibres as nettle
Really unique yarns in the Spanish map!
•
As he himself explains…
•
“At El Camino we produce honest, ethical & quality fibres…”
So….. How does the yarn created by @alpacaselcamino knits?
The yarn is characterized by its softness, it has some “halo” & an incredible variety of natural colours
The alpaca, mohair & merino fibres are responsible for that wonderful softness, while the nettle provides structure & stability to the fibre
•
It is an ideal yarn to create all kind of textures, specially twisted stitches because, even though the “halo” softens the final result, the amazing natural shine of the alpaca/mohair reflects the light & accentuates the texture created by the twisted stitches
A soft, warm yarn, perfect to knit cardigans, shawls & a great alternative to natural, naylon-free hand-knitted socks….
