Chaska Andes Tweed - Baby Alpaca & Merino DK

Chaska Andes Tweed – Baby Alpaca & Merino DK

Soft, warm, and beautifully textured, Chaska Andes Tweed blends the luxury of baby alpaca with the resilience of fine merino wool. The result is a smooth, lightweight DK yarn with a gentle halo and subtle tweed flecks that add depth and character to every stitch.

The baby alpaca brings exceptional softness and warmth without weight, while merino adds elasticity and structure, making this yarn a pleasure to knit and comfortable to wear. It’s ideal for garments worn close to the skin — think cosy sweaters, cardigans, scarves, hats, and timeless wardrobe staples.

With its classic DK weight and balanced twist, Andes Tweed offers excellent stitch definition while maintaining a soft, natural drape.

Perfect For:

• Sweaters and cardigans

• Accessories with warmth and texture

• Textured stitches and simple stockinette alike

• Lightweight yet cosy layering pieces
