Eco-responsible knitting!
Do you know that Alpaca wool is one of the most eco-responsible materials ? Indeed the Alpaca is an animal very respectful of nature: - it does not damage the ground and the vegetation. Thanks to its pads instead of hooves, it is super delicate when it walks and this allows not to impact the life of the vegetation on which it moves. In addition, the Alpaca has the gift of not tearing the roots of the plants it eats thanks to its upper lips which are split in two, because this allows it to handle what it eats more easily. How well nature is! - Alpaca wool is a renewable resource
: the shearing of the Alpaca is done every year from the 4 years of the animal, this allows to obtain wool every year! The positive point is that the shearing of Alpacas is essential for the well-being of the animal, it avoids any hypothermia of the animal or discomfort because of the heaviness of the excess wool.
- Alpaca does not pollute : did you know that Alpaca produces very little greenhouse gas compared to sheep and cows? Another important point that places it at the top of the most environmentally friendly animals.

And the knitting in detail?
Alpaca wool is a very luxurious wool , it is very fine and resistant, so you can have fun making patterns with Alpaca wool. But don't forget that the patterns may stand out less than with sheep's wool if you are used to this wool. This is explained by the texture of Alpaca wool which gives a much more blurred rendering , which still has its little effect! Which needles to use with balls of Alpaca yarn? To knit with our balls of Alpaca wool we advise you to use a 3.5 mm needle , however it is quite possible to go up to 4 mm.
Be careful because alpaca wool tends to be much more slippery than sheep's wool.

Our little tips!
Tip n°1: When you knit patterns, to hide the ends of the yarn, pass the yarn through the stitches on the back of the knit. Tip n°2: If your stitches are not regular when you have finished knitting, it means that you have not brought the same tension throughout your knitting. In this case you can make a blockage : you put your creation in cold water, you wring it by rolling it in a towel and you let it dry flat. Tip 3: Are you a beginner and learning to knit? Don't panic, take your time, knitting is learned with practice .
and is an occupation that allows you to relax. So to start, don't aim to be complicated and knit simple things like scarves. And don't forget: we learn by making mistakes!
