Biches & Buches have been working on this Le Coton & Alpaca yarn for a long time and we are so excited to stock it in Knit With Me for our lovely customers. It is a gorgeous blend of 66% GOTS cotton and 34% Super Fine Alpaca which makes a deliciously soft yarn.Le Coton & Alpaca is a great choice for spring and autumn (and summer in certain countries) and it's perfect if you like a heavier drape than with wool. Also the palet is just beautiful and makes for a gorgeous marled material. This is more obvious when there is a higher contrast between the blown alpaca fibre and the cotton tube.66% GOTS Cotton and 34% Super Fine AlpacaLe Coton & Alpaca is spun and dyed in Italy.Le Coton & Alpaca comes in yarn balls of 50g with a meterage of 90m/98yds17 sts and 26 rows to 10 cm /4" over stockinette stitch using needle size 4mm/US6/UK816 sts and 28 rows to10 cm /4" over stockinette stitch using needle size 5 mm/US8/UK615 sts and 26 rows to10 cm /4" over stockinette stitch using needle size 6 mm/US10/UK413 sts and 24 rows to10 cm /4" over stockinette stitch using needle size 7 mm/US10.5/UK2Handwash in cold water.Come touch and feel it in our Richmond, London store.
