Soft, warm, natural – but please, no scratching!
Many people who discover knitting or crocheting know the problem: the finished piece looks beautiful, but it doesn't feel so pleasant against the skin. Fortunately, there are types of wool that are particularly soft and even ideal for sensitive skin .
The secret lies in the fiber fineness – the thinner and smoother the wool fiber, the softer the feel. And this is where our favorite comes in: ggh BABY ALPAKA .
