The chainette construction enhances the yarn’s warmth while reducing its weight, making it perfect for projects that need loft and softness without bulk. It blooms beautifully after blocking, especially when knitted with a larger needle, creating a cozy, drapey fabric. Available in a modern palette of solid and heathered colors, Isager Alpaca 3 adds a refined, snuggly touch to your knitted or crocheted creations.
