    About this yarn

    Fyberspates Cumulus is a lace weight baby suri alpaca and silk yarn. We love the saturated colors in this line, and Cumulus is also a perfect alternative for those who are sensitive to mohair. Extraordinarily soft baby suri alpaca creates a soft halo without the itch some mohair yarns tend to have. A delight to knit or crochet with!

    Similar to another shop favorite, Lamana Premia, Cumulus is lovely in a lace pattern like the Arvia Shawl by Anna Nikipirowicz, or held double in a project like the Cloud Blouse by Petiteknit.

    If you'd like to know how Apricot started, the whole story lives on our Our Story page.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Have more questions? Visit our contact page and we will help you choose.

    How does baby suri alpaca compare to mohair?

    Alpaca provides a slightly tighter halo than mohair, and is often used as an alternative to mohair for its softness! Fiber from an alpaca is made up of more curled strands, while mohair, from the Angora goat, is made up of straighter strands. For those without mohair sensitivities, both of these fibers are incredibly soft, but the suri alpaca’s texture is often much more comfortable close to skin for those who find mohair itchy. Baby suri alpaca is the softest batch of the suri alpaca fiber, spun from the first shearing of a suri alpaca.

    What can I make with Fyberspates Cumulus?

    Cumulus is one of several strands (and one of many recommended yarns) in the Loupy Stripe Cardi by Loupy Studios

    Cumulus adds fluff to a cute accessory like the Boulevard Bag by Lily Kate Makes

    A lace shawl designed with and inspired by Cumulus itself, the Cumulus Cloud by Artqualia Designs

    Can I hold it with another yarn?

    Yes, holding Fyberspates Cumulus alongside another yarn can add fluff and shine to your project. Held double, yarns like this that combine alpaca or mohair and silk are often chosen to make a DK weight gauge in patterns like the Cloud Blouse by Petiteknit.

    Why is it so light and airy?

    The fuzzy halo that forms (thanks to the baby suri alpaca fiber) in Fyberspates Cumulus insulates well without excess weight, making for a beautifully light and warm layer when making a sweater or shawl!
