This yarn is a budget-friendly, super-soft, fluffy base. Baby Fluff DK has an unusual construction — the alpaca is blown through a cage, which is then shrunk with heat to trap the fibres, making the cage almost invisible. This creates a really strong yarn with a gentle halo. It dyes attractively, with slightly muted colours, and speckles spread softly. This would make a great yarn for baby clothes. It looks lovely in the skein and knitted up it has a very gentle halo. This yarn also has a great yardage.
