Poema Alpaca

Poema Alpaca by Laines du Nord – the yarn that blends elegance, comfort, and quality into a single creative experience. This is more than just a skein, it’s a soft embrace of perfectly blended shades, ideal for your knitting or crochet projects. Poema Alpaca is made of 40% alpaca, 40% mulesing-free merino, and 20% nylon, a blend that ensures warmth, softness, and long-lasting durability. Its mulesing-free certification guarantees respect for animal welfare.

Its most iconic feature is the gradient effect, where soft and vibrant colors flow seamlessly into each other, creating a harmonious play of shades that makes every piece unique. Thanks to the special Perfect Cycle dyeing process, each skein features the same sequence of color changes, making it easier to work on projects that require multiple skeins without worrying about interruptions or mismatched tones. The brushed finish produces a light, fluffy halo, giving each project a delightful softness to the touch.

Perfect for shawls, scarves, sweaters, and lightweight yet cozy cardigans. One skein is enough for an openwork shawl, while two skeins will easily make a size 42 sweater. Recommended for 5–5.5 mm knitting needles or 4.5–5 mm crochet hooks, it allows you to create your projects quickly and effortlessly, making the experience both relaxing and enjoyable.

Poema Alpaca only needs a little care to last beautifully over time: hand washing and flat drying are recommended. It can be dry-cleaned with all solvents except trichloroethylene, but it’s important not to bleach, iron, or tumble dry. These small gestures of care will preserve the yarn’s beauty and softness for years to come.

*Do not forget that the display of colours may vary from one screen to another and also the shades may vary from one colour bath (Dyelot) to another (check on the band of the ball).
