Snefnug by CaMaRose is one of those yarns that truly lives up to the hype. The name means snowflake in Danish, which makes sense once you feel how light it is. It’s made with baby alpaca and extra-fine mulesing-free merino blown into a cotton core, so you get warmth and softness without weight, and a fabric that holds its shape.

It knits up with a gentle halo and a soft, comfortable texture — cosy rather than fluffy. Great for sweaters, cardigans, hats and scarves, and especially nice for garments you want to wear a lot without them sagging or feeling heavy.
