Piuma Alpaca: Lightness, Performance, and Comfort in One Yarn

There’s something magical about working with a yarn that combines softness, warmth, and incredible lightness. That’s exactly what you’ll experience with Piuma Alpaca, a highlight of the Radici Fall-Winter 2025-2026 Collection by Laines du Nord.

This collection was created to celebrate the essence of natural fibers, authentic warmth, and timeless quality. Radici isn’t just a line of yarns—it’s a tribute to nature and craftsmanship, telling stories through soft textures, rich colors, and the comforting feel of quality materials. In this context, Piuma Alpaca stands out as the ideal choice for projects that blend elegance with everyday practicality.

A Unique Fiber Blend

Piuma Alpaca is crafted from a premium blend of 55% alpaca, 40% wool, and 5% nylon. This combination strikes the perfect balance between softness, durability, and versatility. Available in 50-gram balls measuring 100 meters, it offers excellent yardage, allowing you to create structured, cozy pieces with just a few skeins. The yarn’s lightweight and soft feel make it perfect for projects that provide warmth without heaviness—ideal for colder seasons. Despite its delicate touch, Piuma Alpaca maintains good stitch definition and shape, making it suitable for both simple patterns and more intricate designs.
