Material

40% Recycled Nylon 30% Alpaca 30% Merino Wool

This lightweight yarn has temperature regulating qualities, with wool retaining warmth when needed, while remaining cool and breathable on the body. Alpaca creates a fluffy finish for that cosy, comfortable feel. The recycled nylon allows for durability that will keep your knitwear lasting longer.

Alpaca is generally farmed using lower impact traditional methods. Their soft hooves reduce the amount of soil erosion caused from alpaca farming, allowing for minimal damage to the land used for farming.

Recycled nylon is a lower impact material compared to its virgin counterpart, and is made from post-industrial and post-consumer waste like plastic bottles. We choose to use recycled rather than new as part of our commitment to use preferred fibres according to our ELK Preferred Materials Guide. 

The merino wool in this blend is sourced from South African, non-mulesed sheep, and our alpaca wool is sourced from farms in Peru.
