Tweed Wool Almina with Alpaca – 420 m / 100 g · needle size 2–3.5 mm

All amounts are estimates. How much you actually need depends on the pattern, size, gauge, and how you knit.

A fine tweed is a different thing from a chunky one: the flecks of color sit closer together and, from a distance, create a depth all their own. 420 m per 100 g, needle size 2–3.5 mm.

More than half of it is wool, plus 30% alpaca for warmth. Polyamide helps it keep its shape. It's a yarn for a sweater vest or a sweater that's meant to stay simple. Hand wash only.

• Hand wash at 30 °C
• Do not bleach
• Dry flat
• Do not tumble dry
• Do not wring
• Refresh with steam

How many balls do I need for my project?
The "Yarn requirements" table gives estimates for a hat, a scarf, a sweater, and a cardigan. The exact amount depends on the pattern, the size, and your gauge.

Does every ball weigh exactly 100 g?
100 g is the nominal weight. Due to the manufacturing process, the weight of a single ball can vary by about ±2 g, and the yardage varies accordingly. So if your estimate is tight, it's safer to plan for an extra ball.

Will the color look exactly like the photo?
We photograph our yarns in daylight and show the colors as accurately as we can. But every screen displays colors a little differently, so the actual shade may vary slightly.

How much is shipping, and how long does it take?
Shipping within Germany is free – with no minimum order. Delivery takes 2–4 business days.

Can I return the yarn?
In addition to your statutory right of withdrawal, we offer a voluntary return policy : you can send back unused balls with an intact ball band within 30 days of receiving them. You pay the cost of return shipping.

Is this yarn suitable for beginners?
This yarn is fine. If you are knitting for the first time, a thicker yarn is easier to handle – but with a little practice, you can manage it well, and you will get a particularly fine stitch definition.
