In Italy Fino is a word used to describe the finest sherry available from the vineyard.

At Alpaca with a Twist, Fino is the finest lace weight yarn you could imagine. A perfect blend of baby alpaca & silk lends a luxurious handle, a dramatic lustrous sheen, & an elegant drape that will impress nobility!

When used as a single strand, it creates light-as-air, gossamer garments & breathtaking lace effects in shawls & stoles. Knit 2 or 3 strands together for sleek & supple mid-weight fabrics.

Fino is quite simply the best!

This wonderfully soft blend of Alpaca, Merino Wool, Bamboo and Nylon isn't just a great sock yarn, it's also perfect for lace knitted scarves, shawls or accessories.

Steeped in tradition, Highlander is the ultimate tweedy donegal yarn.

Lightweight, breathable, and warm, the ultra-soft blend of baby alpaca and extrafine Merino wool is a match made in heaven.

With colors inspired by the natural beauty of Scotland's vast mountainscape, it's a contemporary take on the romance of the past.

45% baby alpaca, 45% merino wool, 8% microfiber, 2% viscose

Go on…spoil yourself with Big Baby! Heavenly soft & squeezable, it’s the ultimate bulky weight yarn for projects that work up in a flash.

The idea started on the Alpaca with a Twist farm spinning yarn the old fashioned way – by hand with a spinning wheel. The unique chunky texture & silky handle created such a stir they had to invent a commercially spun version to keep up with the demand! Then to make it extra special, we selected our favorite assortment of richly complex heather colors for a truly luxurious knitting experience!
