Snefnug | Alpaca, Merino & Cotton

Snefnug by CaMaRose is a super soft, light, airy and full-bodied yarn which exclusively consists of natural materials in an extra delicate blend of 55% baby alpaca, 10% extra fine merino wool and 35% organic cotton. It comprises a cotton tube into which a fine blend of merino wool and baby alpaca is blown. Altogether, this gives a strong and at the same time, super soft, light and exclusive yarn. It is particularly suitable for baby and children’s knitwear, as well as for oversize knitwear for adults such as sweaters, cardigans, scarfs, and hats.

SNEFNUG comes in an incredible range of colours, so there is plenty of opportunity to express your own colour personality.

It is recommended to HAND WASH the finished work with wool detergent and lay it flat to dry.
