Rowan Alpaca Classic is a delicate, airy yarn built for contrast—ideal for colorwork as well as soft, lightweight knits. It gets its romantic halo from filling a fine cotton mesh with alpaca fibers, giving it a feathery feel and generous yardage without bulk. When knitted on larger needles, its texture also makes it a beautiful choice for lace.
