ALSILI – Elegance and Lightness in Every Strand
ALSILI is the sister yarn of ALSILI Fingering, sharing its exquisite composition of 50% baby alpaca, 25% linen, and 25% mulberry silk, but with an intermediate weight between sport and DK (250m/100g). This fiber blend offers a unique experience: the enveloping softness of baby alpaca, the structure and freshness of linen, and the subtle sheen of mulberry silk, creating a sophisticated and versatile yarn.
The rusticity of linen is balanced by the warmth of alpaca, resulting in a pleasant texture to the touch and excellent thermal insulation—ideal for lightweight, breathable garments in spring and summer. Its elegant drape and natural luminosity make ALSILI the perfect choice for airy shawls, transitional sweaters, and textured pieces with well-defined stitches.
During the dyeing process each of the fibers absorbs the dye in another way. The linen fibres won’t take on dye, so these yarns have a very lightly heathered appearance when dyed up.
If you’re looking for a finer version for your projects, ALSILI Fingering offers the same harmonious fiber blend in a lighter weight. With ALSILI, every stitch is filled with character, softness, and a subtle glow that enhances any creation.
Each skein is unique and different, therefore the same color way looks different from base to base and even from one skein to the next! To ensure random color distribution, we recommend working with two skeins of yarn at once, alternating every few rows each skein.

Please note that sometimes colors in the images might vary depending on monitors although I do my best to photograph the yarns accurately.
Aunque cuidadosamente preparadas y teñidas en pequeños lotes, las madejas del mismo color pueden variar levemente entre ellas. Para obtener una bonita distribución de colores se aconseja, en los proyectos grandes, ir alternando dos ovillos cada par de vueltas.
