Pickles Soft Fuzz

A brushed alpaca and wool yarn

Brushed alpaca. Pickles Soft Fuzz is lightly spun from a single strand of a blend of alpaca and wool. This makes the yarn lighter in weight than pure brushed alpaca. In addition, it gains resilience and strength. This means that the garments you knit keep their shape, are soft to the touch and have a matt and exclusive finish. Since the fibers are thin and soft, the garments may release some fibers. These are easily removed with your fingers and the garment is as good as new. The yarn is perfect on a 3 mm needle for tightly knitted garments and up to 6 mm for an airy brushed look. We also use the yarn as an alpaca liner for other thin yarns. Pickles Soft Fuzz is easy to knit with and does not catch on the needles.   53% alpaca / 47% wool | 50 g balls | 195 meters | Knit on 3-6 mm needles | Gauge per 10 cm: 16-23 stitches / 18-34 rows | Hand wash  

Knitting Patterns and Yarn Kits

Pickles Soft Fuzz is well suited to patterns knitted on needles from 3 mm - 6 mm, depending on the type of fabric you want to achieve. We have a nice color palette with a selection of fresh colors, dusty colors and natural colors. If you are unsure whether Pickles Soft Fuzz is suitable for your knitting project, you can send us an email or a message on instagramand we will help you further!   Here you will find all our knitting patterns and yarn kits made in the yarn.   We recommend hand washing in lukewarm/cold water, but you can centrifuge the garment (make sure you don't set the rinse program, only the centrifuge) to get the most out of the water. Then lay the garment straight on the floor and stretch/block it into the shape you want. The garment will dry in a few hours.
