Is Illimani Amelie wool blend yarn itchy or soft against the skin?

Illimani Amelie is renowned for its exceptional softness due to its luxurious blend of baby alpaca, silk, and extra fine merino wool. It’s soft, airy, and has a gentle halo, making it very comfortable to wear even next to the skin. Most customers find it completely non-itchy, making it a go-to wool blend yarn for sensitive skin and cozy garments.

How many skeins of Illimani Amelie do I need for a scarf or accessory?

For a classic scarf, you'll typically need 2-3 skeins of Illimani Amelie wool blend yarn, depending on the length, width, and stitch pattern you choose. For smaller accessories like hats or cowls, 1-2 skeins will usually be enough. If you’re unsure, check your pattern’s yardage requirements and remember each skein provides 164 yards (150m).

Can I use Illimani Amelie for baby items or sensitive projects?

Absolutely! Illimani Amelie is a popular wool blend yarn choice for baby garments and accessories because it’s incredibly soft, lightweight, and cozy. Its blend of baby alpaca, silk, and extra fine merino offers gentle warmth without scratchiness. Just remember to hand wash and lay flat to dry to keep baby projects looking their best.

How do I care for finished projects made with Illimani Amelie wool blend yarn?

To keep your Illimani Amelie creations looking beautiful, hand wash in cool water with a gentle detergent and lay flat to dry. This helps preserve the yarn’s airy texture and lovely drape, and avoids stretching or felting. With the proper care, your project will remain soft and elegant for years.

Illimani yarn

The yarn is beautiful and I am planning to make something useful

So soft!

So so soft! I paired with chunky O-Wash O-Wool for a striped watch cap and have enough left to do a cowl. Very happy yellow color, too.

Fabulous feel!

This yarn is worth the money, you will love your project if you choose this yarn.

Such gorgeous yarn

Perfect squish

I’m making a scarf with this and was knitting at the dance studio. All the little ones needed to feel how soft it was because it looked so squishy ❤️. The scarf is gorgeous.
