About Snefnug

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.

Why you'll love Commercially Dyed Yarn

Commercially dyed yarn is dyed in large vats, usually made into large hanks of 1 kilo or more. The yarn is dyed to an extremely precise, all over colour using gradually rising heat. You can generally expect commercially dyed yarn to be very even and dye baths to be exact.

Commercially dyed yarn is wonderful for projects where you want a consistent, all over colour, or even colourwork pieces like fair isle or stranded knitting.

Care Instructions

Items made from this yarn should be washed by hand in cool water using a gentle wool detergent or wool wash.
Keep agitation to an absolute minimum while washing to avoid unnecessary stress on the fibres.
Never wring or twist your finished piece.
Gently squeeze out as much water as possible, then roll the item in a towel and press to remove excess moisture. Lay flat to dry, carefully shaping it back to its original dimensions.

This fibre does not need to be washed after every wear. It is naturally breathable, so washing is only necessary when the item looks (or, occasionally, smells) like it needs it.

Benefits of this Yarn

Fibre blends such as this one have benefits inherited from the different fibres blended together

100% Natural: all three fibres are natural and biodegradable
Warm yet breathable: Baby Alpaca is exceptionally warm, and the cotton gives this blend a little more breathability
Sustainable & Renewable: all fibres in this blend are safe, sustainable and renewable
Flame retardant (safe for babies - and all humans)
Wrinkle resistent
Baby Alpaca is the highest percentage in this blend, and that means it will be affected the most by its exceptional softness and lofty hand.
