Spun in Peru, PHULLU is the Quechuan word for “soft hair or down.” Baby alpaca and fine merino wool combine to create a down-like worsted-weight yarn that will prove difficult not to fondle. Light yet airy, this yarn will fool you; it is also super warm and will create cuddly-soft sweaters, shawls and accessories.

Inka derived its name from the ancient meaning in the Quechan language: "one who shines or glows and who also is able to gather power and living energies and distribute them to wherever and whomever needs it". The yarn has a very unique iridescent sheen to it, hence it is the "one who glows" and it is sure to appeal to the most adventurous of knitters. A true super fine lace weight, its viscose and baby alpaca blend will create soft yet beautifully detailed shawls, sweaters and accessories.
