Alva
Alva is a thin 2-ply yarn spun from fibres of Peruvian alpacas. Alva is soft, warm, and pliable, and perfectly suitable for many kinds of projects. The thin yarn is supreme to blend with our other yarn qualities. Furthermore, Alva is a nice alternative to a thin mohair.
We spin Alva from the same good fibre quality as Vilja.
Alpaca is a llama species, belonging to the camel family that originates from the South American highlands. The indigenous people of South America have known and used alpaca fibres for thousands of years.
In the South American Highlands, the temperature can vary between +30 and -20 degrees in a single day. The hollow structure of the alpaca fibres makes room for air bubbles, making the fibre breathable on warm days and isolating on cold nights. This makes the alpacas suitable for living in the highlands and makes the alpaca fibre perfectly suitable for clothing as well.
Alva er et tyndt 2-trådet garn spundet af fibre fra peruvianske alpakaer. Alva er blød, varm og glansfuld og velegnet til mange slags projekter. Det tynde garn er perfekt til at strikke sammen med vores andre kvaliteter. Desuden er Alva et herligt alternativt følgegarn i stedet for et tyndt mohairgarn.
Vi bruger den samme lækre fiberkvalitet, som også anvendes i Vilja.
Alpaka er en lamaart, der hører til kamelfamilien, som er hjemmehørende i det sydamerikanske højland. Alpakafibrene har været anvendt af Sydamerikas oprindelige folk i årtusinder.
I det sydamerikanske højland kan temperaturen svinge mellem -20 og +30 grader på et enkelt døgn. Alpakafibrene er hule, og indeholder luftbobler. Det gør fiberen åndbar når det er varmt, og isolerende når det er koldt. Det hjælper alpakaerne med at klare de omskiftelige betingelser i højlandet, og gør alpaka yderst velegnet til beklædning.
