Sandnes Garn Børstet Alpakka Børstet Alpakka from Sandnes Garn is a beautifully soft and airy yarn, created by twisting luxurious alpaca fibres around a fine nylon core before brushing. The result is a light, fluffy texture that gives garments a gentle halo and a luxurious feel while remaining wonderfully lightweight. Alpaca fibres are naturally warm — about three times warmer than ordinary wool — yet breathable and comfortable to wear across all seasons. The hollow structure of the fibre helps regulate temperature, keeping you warm in the cold and cool in the heat.
