Soft, squishy, and irresistibly smooth — Alpachino Merino by Wool and the Gang combines two of the world’s most luxurious natural fibres: merino wool and baby alpaca.

Inspired by the vibrant landscapes of Peru, this 100% natural, sustainably sourced yarn is gently twisted to create a chunky, easy-to-knit texture with incredible softness and warmth. It’s plush without being heavy, making it a wonderfully wearable yarn for year-round knitting and crochet.

Alpachino Merino glides effortlessly on needles and hooks, making it ideal for beginners while still delivering beautiful stitch definition for more experienced makers. Expect cozy, breathable knits with a soft halo and a comforting hand-feel you’ll want to wear again and again.

Available in a carefully curated palette of rich, stash-worthy shades, this yarn is perfect for timeless garments and everyday accessories.
