We had been searching the yarn market for an outstanding line of Alpaca Hand Knitting Yarn for quite some time and it was not until this past June when we encountered Alpaca With A Twist at The National Needle Arts (TNNA) trade show in Columbus.
Admittedly there are many Alpaca yarn lines on the market and we had shopped them all. For Village Yarns one criteria is that we like to distinguish ourselves by the variety of yarn lines we carry and to make our selection of hand knitting yarns as different as possible to the other fantastic yarn retailers here in Ontario.
Most important is the quality and colour range of the product. Alpaca With A Twist met our highest standards!

Highlander is the newest addition to the Alpaca With A Twist yarn line. When we saw the sample garment at their TNNA booth we could not believe how realistic a "donegal tweed" effect they produced at their mill. As we approached the Highlander sample we were praying that it would be a substantial yarn yet soft to the touch as one expects with a luxury fibre. It definitely lived up to that expectation. Come feel and touch for yourself this exquisite blend of Baby Alpaca + Extra Fine Merino; the perfect fibre combination for highly textured garments that will show great stitch definition and retain their shape.
Highlander is an Aran Weight hand knitting yarn with a Gauge of 18 sts/10cm on a recommended needle size 5mm/US #8. 100g skein with 145 yards.

Part of the criteria for a new Alpaca yarn line was that they offered a Lace Weight yarn of exceptional quality in a colour range to compliment our hand dyed lace yarns. Fino by Alpaca With A Twist provides a lovely blend of 70% Baby Alpaca with 30% Silk for lace shawls, stoles and fine gauge knits. The full colour range is available at Village Yarns in Toronto.
Fino is a Lace Weight hand knitting yarn with a Gauge of 28 sts/10cm on a recommended needle size 3.25mm/US #3. 100g skein with 875 yards.
