LAMAULD ½, is a soft, rustic, and 1-threaded yarn consisting of 50% llama wool and 50% Peruvian Highland Wool.
The colour chart in LAMAULD ½ is beautifully composed of natural (uncoloured), mottled and through-coloured hues, specially made for CaMaRose.
The length is 100 meters per 50 grams. The recommended gauge is 17-18 sts x 24 rows and the recommended needle size is 4.5-5 mm.
The llama wool’s fibers are an exclusive natural product, lanolin free, light, and strong. The hollow construction of the fibers gives an unusual, good insulation capacity. Therefore, the llama wool is significantly warmer than ordinary sheep wool.
The yarns rustic look, high insulation capacity and strength, makes LAMAULD ½ particularly suitable for classic Nordic sweaters and cardigans, outerwear, and blankets.
The spinning of the yarn entails, that LAMAULD ½ first unfolds completely, when knitted and washed. A knitted and washed swatch is therefore recommended, to get the full impression of the quality, look, and softness of the yarn. Llama wool has naturally very varied lengths of the fibers, which gives surplus fibers in the work process. The majority of these fibers are washed out at the first washes, which makes the result even softer.
As a yarn alternative to LAMAULD ½, all designs can be worked with two strands of Yaku, a 100% merino wool, that you can see right HERE.
LAMAULD ½ from CaMaRose is produced in Peru with consideration for both environment, animal welfare, the local farmers and workers. The high-quality requirements, as well as the consideration for both environment, animals, and people in the production, is the foundation of the collaboration with CaMaRose since 2010.
