About this product
Paka Washi is a soft, lightweight DK/sport-weight yarn that’s as easy-going as it is beautiful. Made from a 50/50 blend of Baby Alpaca and Merino Wool treated with our sustainable Easy Wash process, it’s machine washable—so you can skip the stress and just enjoy the stitches. The fabric has a gentle halo, a smooth hand, and drapes like a dream.
Available in a kaleidoscope of rich, saturated colors, Paka Washi brings luxury to everything from playful kids’ knits to chic, modern sweaters. And like all your favorite handmades, it still deserves a little TLC—machine wash cold, then lay flat to dry.
