Alpaca yarn is naturally hypoallergenic, free of lanolin and dander, and is water and fire resistant. 

Galler?s Peruvian Tweed yarn consists of two softly spun strands of prime alpaca fiber spiral bound with a third strand a little more tightly spun. The overall effect, once knitted, is of a sophisticated and understated tweed. 

Although it knits up at a worsted weight, it has high loft and wonderful drape, so it makes splendid shawls, wraps and scarves, as well as light but Oh so soft and warm sweaters.
