What makes Seven Oaks Ranch Alpino Yarn special compared to other wool blend yarns?

Seven Oaks Ranch Alpino Yarn is a beautifully soft wool blend yarn made with 80% locally raised alpaca and 20% locally raised Merino wool. This unique combination gives you the best of both fibers: amazing softness, warmth, and a gentle sheen. What really sets it apart is the local sourcing and hand-crafted quality—perfect for heirloom projects you’ll cherish for years!

How should I care for my finished projects made with Seven Oaks Ranch Alpino Yarn?

To keep your creations looking their best, we recommend gently hand washing your items in cool water with a mild wool-friendly detergent. Lay flat to dry to prevent stretching. The high alpaca content in this wool blend yarn makes for a delicate fabric, so avoid wringing or hanging your project.

How much Seven Oaks Ranch Alpino Yarn do I need for a typical project like a hat or a cardigan?

Each skein is 100g and contains approximately 230 yards. For a hat, like The Rancher Hat Kit we sell, one skein is usually enough. For a cozy cardigan or sweater, you’ll likely need anywhere from 4 to 6 skeins, depending on the size and pattern. Always check your pattern’s requirements and consider snagging an extra skein for larger projects or just-in-case color matching!

What color options are available for this yarn, and how do I choose the right shade for my project?

We offer a beautiful range of natural and heathered colors, including White/Dark Rose Gray Candy Cane, Brown/Black Candy Cane, Silver Grey, Fawn 2025, Brown II 2025, Brown I 2025, Fawn Light 2025, and White 2025. These earthy and classic shades make this wool blend yarn perfect for timeless projects. The candy cane options provide a subtle marled effect for a touch of extra interest. Can’t decide? We're always happy to help with color advice—just reach out or check our in-store samples.

Is Seven Oaks Ranch Alpino Yarn a good choice for beginners and sensitive skin?

Absolutely! The alpaca and Merino blend is known for its incredible softness and minimal itch factor, making it a fantastic wool blend yarn for anyone with sensitive skin or if you don’t like scratchy yarns. Plus, it’s a DK weight, so it’s easy to work with for knitting or crochet, whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned maker.
