Lang Yarns Wooladdicts Water – 100% baby alpaca yarn, 50 g ball

Lang Yarns Wooladdicts Water – soft, crimped alpaca yarn

Wooladdicts Water from Lang Yarns is a knitting yarn made from 100% alpaca (baby alpaca) for jumpers, scarves, hats and other garments that should be soft and warm. The yarn is crimped, so it knits up with plenty of volume without looking too fluffy. Choose your colour from the options.

Each ball weighs 50 g and has a length of approx. 140 m. Use this figure to work out how much you need for your project from the yarn length given in your pattern.

What Water is suited to

On 4.5–5 mm needles, Water knits up at a medium to thick weight. The result is an airy, soft fabric with plenty of volume. The yarn suits jumpers and waistcoats, scarves, headbands and hats, so items worn directly against the skin or at the neck. Because alpaca is not as elastic as some virgin wool, it helps to knit edges and ribbing in a pattern written for alpaca yarn.

Planning your project

Divide the total length given in your pattern by 140 m to find out how many balls you need. Buy the whole quantity at once and, if possible, from the same dye lot, so that no colour differences show in the knitted piece.

• Tension: 17 stitches and 24 rows over 10 × 10 cm on 4.5–5 mm needles
• What matters is the tension given in your pattern; the figure on the ball band is only a guide.
