Family owned & run, Malabrigo has a passion for creating soft, high-quality yarns in an incredible array of colorways. Inspired by the breathtaking landscapes of South America (the company is based in Peru & Uruguay), each color captures the magic of day-to-day life.

Hand-dyed in Peru, Malabrigo yarns are an absolute favorite amongst fiber artists. Spun with soft, high-quality fibers, Silkpaca is a beautiful blend of baby alpaca & silk.

The plied, lace weight yarn has polished stitch definition for lace shawls & wraps, scarves & fine gauge garments. The baby alpaca gives the yarn an exquisite hand & delicate halo, while silk creates a luminous sheen. An impressive range of tonal & variegated colorways provide plenty of project inspiration.

Silkpaca is delicate & cloud-like held alone, however it is also lovely held double stranded or along with a favorite yarn to bulk up gauge or add depth of color.
