Pure Vicuna: 100% Vicuna Yarn

Yarns are 1oz 28 grams lace weight and 217.41 yards per ball.

The size of the needles/crochet and gauge really depend on the pattern. We have projects that use size US 00 all the way to size US 7, the size most common is US 5 or 3.75mm.

We recommend washing your knitwear hand in lukewarm water. Dry flat and under no circumstances should you dry it on any heat source.

It will naturally become softer and fluffier with each wash.

Pure Vicuna: 100% Vicuna Yarn

Vicuña wool is the most luxurious fiber in modern times

Vicuña is finer than any other fiber in the world, with a micron count (the width of a single strand) measuring only 8 to 13 microns. 

It is so soft and sensitive that it is usually left untreated in its natural color -- a spicy cinnamon shade. 

If you have to compare it to cashmere, it's a much softer touch. 

It can be described as a "solid softness" compared to a "fuzzy softness" similar to qiviut. 

We are proud to be the suppliers of this extraordinary knitting yarn for North America. 

Windy Valley's vicuña is imported from Peru following these strict guidelines and meets all certification standards. 

Because of its rarity and unique properties, we are often sold out or have a long waiting list of knitters hoping to get their hands on a skein. 

You can now acquire a small rare treasure that will bring you a great deal of pleasure while knitting... 

A fiber that is truly in a league of its own.

Only thing better than Windy Valley Muskox

I’m floored. My yarn is gorgeous. And the only thing better than my vicuña is the customer service. They make every purchase easy and fabulous. I can’t wait to start knitting! Giovanna and her staff are the best. So is the yarn. I’m a customer for life now.

Sooooo soft!

I just completed the Bison Lace Scarf pattern using 100% pure Vicuna. I was very nervous using such expensive yarn, but the pattern is easy to follow and after a few repeats I could knit without having to refer to the printed pattern. I find that small. light scarves like Bison Lace are very useful for taking off the chill in over-air-contioned venues. The yarn arrived in a nice drawstring bag so I can comfortably carry the scarf in my bag and bring it out when needed.

Loved the Vicuña

I made a pair of fingerless mitts with a Tree of Life cable on them. It was fabulous knitting every stitch with the Vicuña!
I will be making a knit headband with the Qiviut.
I’m sure I will love that too!
