Alpaca Yarns

Alpaca yarn is one of nature's finest gifts to knitters — luxuriously soft, naturally warm, and hypoallergenic, making it a favourite for anyone who finds wool a little scratchy. If you're looking for alpaca yarn in NZ, our collection brings together some of the best alpaca and alpaca-blend options available, from fine baby alpaca to chunky blends that work up into beautifully cosy garments.

Alpaca fibre is warmer than sheep's wool, naturally breathable, and has a subtle natural sheen that gives knitted fabrics a beautiful drape. Baby alpaca — the softest grade — is gentle enough for next-to-skin wear and baby garments, making it a go-to for our customers making gifts for little ones.

Alpaca is wonderful for scarves, shawls, sweaters, hats, and anything you want to feel extra special. It can be a little more slippery to work with than wool, but the finished result is absolutely worth it.

We love alpaca at Wild & Woolly Yarns, and our team is always happy to talk you through which weight and blend suits your project. Visit us in Milford or shop our full alpaca yarn range online — delivered across New Zealand.
