Halo - 100% Baby Brushed Alpaca DK

Halo DK – 100% Baby Brushed Alpaca

Meet Halo DK from Alpaca Yarns: a featherlight, dreamy-soft brushed alpaca that creates the most beautiful airy fabric with a gentle halo (hence the name 😉). This is the yarn you reach for when you want garments that feel luxurious, warm, and barely-there all at once.

Spun from 100% baby alpaca and brushed to perfection, Halo DK gives you that modern mohair-style look — but without the itch. It’s light, fluffy, and elegant, with incredible warmth for its weight and a soft, hazy finish that makes even simple stitches look special.

Perfect for cosy sweaters, floaty cardigans, scarves, hats, and layering pieces, Halo DK shines both on its own or held double for extra drama and squish. Why you’ll love it
