The 'Sands of Time' set is a selection of 4 stunning shades from our alpaca and super fine alpaca darning yarn collections including: Blanca, Nazca Lines, Chocolatina, and Condor.
 
Our soft yet strong, 2-ply alpaca yarn is perfect for repairs to finely knitted garments such as alpaca, cashmere or merino.
 
This luxurious yarn is spun and dyed in Peru using 100% baby alpaca fibre. It contains no added synthetic fibres unlike most darning wool or mending yarns and therefore releases no micro-plastics in the wash. We much prefer to source pure yarn which helps to reduce our impact on the planet, so this one gets a big tick from us!
 
Not only that, but did you know alpaca is ideal for those who are sensitive to other wool fibres? Alpacas do not produce any lanolin at all, which makes pure alpaca wool hypoallergenic and safe for allergy sufferers.  
 
It can be split down to a single strand for mending fine knitwear, or doubled up if you require a thicker yarn for your mending project. Please be aware that one shade (Chocolatina) in this set is slightly finer than the others.
 
Each card contains approximately 10 m (33 ft) of yarn.
 
Please Note: Every effort has been taken to ensure these photos are an accurate representation of the colours, but since every computer monitor and mobile device is different, we cannot guarantee the colour will be an exact match to what you see online.
