Saperlipopette is a delicate, fluffy yarn made in France by Fonty, known for its soft and bouncy texture. It's a blend of baby suri alpaca, silk, and merino wool, making it a luxurious and gentle option, especially for those with mohair sensitivities. It's great for creating airy, lightweight garments and accessories.

Entirely natural, it consists of a subtle blend of three exceptional fleeces. The 65% baby suri fibers provide a vaporous, cloudy and fuzzy appearance. The 20% silk adds qualities of resistance and elasticity and a shiny and silky appearance. The extra-fine merino fiber completes the whole by providing its loft, volume and softness.
The suri is a member of the alpaca family (a species of llamas, a branch of camelids), bred in semi-wildlife in the Andean highlands. Its fleece is finer, more wavy (a little rasta, like dreadlocks), and shinier than that of the common alpaca (huacayo).
SAPERLIPOPETTE can be knitted alone, doubled, or in combination with another yarn. When knitted alone, SAPERLIPOPETTE is recommended with needles # 3.5 to 4.
SAPERLIPOPETTE is preferably washed by hand, with mild soap (Marseille soap, if possible organic), without spinning, with drying flat.
