Upcycled Alpaca Blend is a unique fusion of 33% alpaca, 33% wool, 34% acrylic made in Peru. All fibers are carefully selected and repurposed making this yarn more environmentally conscious.
Alpaca will give a nice insulation and a plush texture, wool will provide warmth, durability, whereas the acrylic component will add practicality and structure to your finished piece.
Upcycled Alpaca Blend’s color palette is natural and subdued, reminding of the tranquillity of natural landscapes during the cold seasons. From soft greys, to delicate blues, and earthy tones, your projects will have that beautiful elegance and sophistication.
Imagine creating warm soft sweaters, cardigans, and pullovers, but also timeless accessories such as scarves, headbands, mittens, beanies, neck warmers, and shawls.
Embrace the elegance with Upcycled Alpaca Blend
We recommend securing enough yarn for your project, as shade variations between future dye lots may vary due to the nature of recycled fibers.

A must-try. I received this yarn in three shades: Oat Milk (01), Yam (05), and Light Peach (06) in order to make a checker/patchwork cardigan and I couldn't be happier with my selection.
The yarn itself is a lot softer than I expected it to be, definitely not a scratchy wool or alpaca, I only have two panels done but it's smooth and silky to the touch (I knit with two strands held together). It feels quite luxurious and because it's recycled, you get a nice marled, almost hand-dyed look to the color (I received my skeins all from the same dye lots and can't notice a color variation).
I would say this is more of a light-worsted/aran weight yarn, I'm combing two strands on 8mm needles and its perfect.
I am EAGER to start a new project with the shades of green as well, really hoping this "limited edition" yarn lasts a bit longer.

This yarn is beautiful! It's soft, lightweight, and really comfortable to wear. Being a mix of alpaca, acrylic, and wool, I was really curious to see how it felt, if it was scratchy, if it felt squeaky, if it would stretch out, but it seems to have the pros of each fiber without the usual cons. It does have a halo of alpaca fuzzies, giving the fabric a rustic, heathered look, but without any prickliness. It feels pretty light for a worsted-weight yarn, you could probably get away with knitting it at a DK-weight gauge, too. I would happily use it again!

Like one review notes, this is more of a light worsted than a worsted, and has a nice smooth soft texture. I'm currently making a poncho with the Grass Green color. That green is a darker shade than the product image - which is fine, just something to note while trying to pick between that and the Lichen green. In the images with the various skeins you can see it in the left corner and that seems to be a more accurate color than the more lime/yellowish green that is used for the standalone image (at least on my screen.)

The Upcycled Alpaca Blend Yarn in 'wheat' colour has exceeded my expectations in every way. It's gorgeous, soft texture makes knitting or crocheting a luxurious experience, and the color adds a sophisticated touch to my projects. I am extremely satisfied with this yarn and look forward to buying more shades for various future projects. This yarn is a definite must-have for any knitting/crocheting enthusiast looking for quality and sustainability.

i just got my yarn yesterday and i am already obsessed (literally took it out of the package and started crocheting with it because i was so excited 😆). i’m making a bunch of granny squares for a project, and this yarn is so soft and easy to work with, it has a great center pull, and the colors are rich and mellow. it is so incredibly comfy on my hands as i work. would absolutely recommend for your next project!! 🫶🏼
