LANG Baby Llama Yarn

Baby llama fiber is known for warmth without weight. Its hollow and semi-hollow fibers trap heat while staying light, so LANG Baby Llama knits up into a fabric that feels cozy but never bulky. A soft halo and natural sheen give finished pieces a polished, elegant look.

A small amount of nylon adds strength and helps the yarn hold its shape, so your projects stand up to everyday wear. The colors are drawn from nature, with soft neutrals, warm browns, and muted blues and pinks that are easy to wear and easy to combine.

Because it knits quickly at Aran / Bulky gauge, LANG Baby Llama is a good choice for last-minute gifts and quick cold-weather accessories.
