Meri-Alpaca Scarf features stripes of Merino No. 5 and Fluffy Alpaca stacked atop one another for the length of the scarf. The scarf starts with ribbing in Merino No. 5 before moving into alternating stockinette stripes of the two yarns. You’ll find changing between the two yarns to be easy as it always happens at the beginning of the row.
Fiber Content Note: Merino No. 5 TWEED colors Blacksmith, Flamingo, Blue Lagoon, and Stardust have different fiber content: 80% Merino Wool, 14% Wool, 6% Viscose
Care: Dry clean or hand wash cold, lay flat to dry. Please test any washing/drying method on a small swatch to ensure you like the end result. Note that exposing wool to heat (hot water) or agitation (machine washing) will cause it to felt. As with any soft chunky natural fiber, some shedding will occur. For further information and tips, please consult our Fiber Care Guide.
Yarn made in Italy, kit assembled in the USA.
Shown in Spicy Hot Pink/In the Mood for Love, Polar Bear/Supernatural, and TWEED-Flamingo/English Rose.
*Due to delicate nature of alpaca fiber, some shedding may occur
