{"product_id":"alpaka-wolle-baby-alpaca-50g","title":"Alpaca wool BABY ALPACA | 50g","description":"This quadruple twisted alpaca knitting wool made of 100% pure alpaca yarn in baby alpaca quality for needle gauge 4-4.5 is characterized by incomparable fineness in a wide range of colors.\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003eBe inspired by our baby alpaca yarn: wearing comfort, optical properties like the silky sheen and technical advantages like the moisture regulation speak for themselves. Because: Alpaca is a hollow fiber. It has a temperature-balancing effect and can be processed much thinner than e.g. sheep's wool or other natural fibers while providing the same insulation. This unique temperature equalization makes it comfortable to wear in winter as well as in summer. It does not scratch or wrinkle and is especially suitable for sensitive and delicate skin. Since alpaca wool contains hardly any lanolin (wool grease), it is ideally suited for allergy sufferers and hardly tends to pill or felt due to the particularly smooth fiber structure. \u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003eAPU KUNTUR alpaca wool is produced in Peru under strict human-ecological requirements. Only the finest fibers meet our high quality standards and are used for our yarn.\u003cbr\/\u003eOur knitting yarn is OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 certified.\u003cbr\/\u003e(Except color black 01 and anthracite 23)\u003cbr\/\u003eYou can see that - and you will notice it when knitting.

From experience, when this happens, it is mainly with dark or strong colors. We therefore recommend washing the yarn or the textile knitted from it separately in the first wash, after which there should be no further \"bleeding\".\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003eUse this particularly fine quality for workpieces that come into contact with sensitive areas of the skin, such as scarves or children's hats.\u003cbr\/\u003eThis wool is excellent for knitting and crocheting fine accessories such as cuffs, hats, hoods and gloves or knitted coats, knitted jackets, knitted sweaters, capes and ponchos. There are no limits to your creativity in needlework and hobby.\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003eThe term baby alpaca does not mean that the processed wool comes from little alpaca babies. Rather, it is a sign of quality and says something about the fineness of the fiber. Adult animals that have such fiber quality are the most valuable animals.\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003eThis article is also available in a pack of 5.\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003eDid you know?\u003cbr\/\u003eAlpaca wool is the \"Gold of the Andes\" and was once reserved only for royalty by the Incas. It was therefore also called \"fleece of the gods\".\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003eAlpaca wool is nowadays appreciated by designers all over the world as one of the noblest natural wool fibers and is being used more and more. Only a few years ago, cashmere was considered the finest wool quality, but many connoisseurs are discovering the soft and elegant natural fiber alpaca for themselves and appreciate its outstanding properties.","brand":"APU KUNTUR","offers":[{"title":"black \/ one size","offer_id":57270355951951,"sku":"4255728923988","price":8.95,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":false},{"title":"anthracite \/ one size","offer_id":57270355984719,"sku":"4255728923971","price":8.95,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true},{"title":"fir green melange \/ one size","offer_id":57270356017487,"sku":"4255728923957","price":8.95,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true},{"title":"green-grey melange \/ one size","offer_id":57270356050255,"sku":"4255728923933","price":8.95,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true},{"title":"sea green melange \/ one size","offer_id":57270356083023,"sku":"4255728923926","price":8.95,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true},{"title":"green melange \/ one size","offer_id":57270356115791,"sku":"4255728923919","price":8.95,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":false},{"title":"avocado melange \/ one size","offer_id":57270356148559,"sku":"4255728923940","price":8.95,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true},{"title":"petrol melange \/ one size","offer_id":57270356181327,"sku":"4255728923902","price":8.95,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true},{"title":"alger melange \/ one size","offer_id":57270356214095,"sku":"4255728923872","price":8.95,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true},{"title":"dark blue \/ one size","offer_id":57270356246863,"sku":"4255728923858","price":8.95,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true},{"title":"steel blue melange \/ one size","offer_id":57270356279631,"sku":"4255728923865","price":8.95,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true},{"title":"blue melange \/ one size","offer_id":57270356312399,"sku":"4255728923889","price":8.95,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true},{"title":"ice blue \/ one size","offer_id":57270356345167,"sku":"4255728923896","price":8.95,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true},{"title":"lilac melange \/ one size","offer_id":57270356377935,"sku":"4255728923803","price":8.95,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true},{"title":"fuchsia \/ one size","offer_id":57270356410703,"sku":"4255728923797","price":8.95,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true},{"title":"himbeere melange \/ one size","offer_id":57270356443471,"sku":"4255728923780","price":8.95,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":false},{"title":"pink melange \/ one size","offer_id":57270356476239,"sku":"4255728923810","price":8.95,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":false},{"title":"wine red \/ one size","offer_id":57270356509007,"sku":"4255728923766","price":8.95,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true},{"title":"orange-red melange \/ one size","offer_id":57270356541775,"sku":"4255728923735","price":8.95,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true},{"title":"red \/ one size","offer_id":57270356574543,"sku":"4255728923742","price":8.95,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true},{"title":"honey yellow \/ one size","offer_id":57270356607311,"sku":"4255728923728","price":8.95,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0970\/3984\/3663\/files\/NOS-15050U1P00-120000-0-schwarz-1.jpg?v=1775659715","url":"https:\/\/www.alpaca.ch\/en\/products\/alpaka-wolle-baby-alpaca-50g","provider":"alpaca.ch","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
