Lamauld is a soft, single-ply aran weight yarn consisting of 50% llama wool and 50% Peruvian Highland wool.
Llama wool's fibres are an exclusive natural product, lanolin-free, light and strong. The hollow structure of the fibres gives an exceptionally good insulating ability, which is why llama wool is considerably warmer than ordinary sheep's wool.
