What is Lamana Perla best for?

Perla is a wonderful choice for garments you want to feel special, sweaters, cardigans, and shawls where a soft hand and gentle sheen matter. The blend of pima cotton, baby alpaca, and silk gives it drape without being too heavy, so it wears beautifully across seasons. Explore the full Lamana line for coordinating shades and weights.

How much yarn do I need for a project?

Each skein holds 125 yards (50 grams). Lamana notes that a size M pullover (38 to 40) takes about 500 grams, so plan on roughly 10 skeins for a sweater. A shawl or cardigan will vary with your pattern, so we are always happy to help you calculate yardage for your specific project.

What fiber is it, and where does it come from?

It is a blend of 60% pima cotton, 25% baby alpaca, and 15% silk, three fibers chosen for what each brings, cotton for structure, alpaca for softness, and silk for its gentle shine. You will find it alongside our other alpaca yarn and silk yarn .

How do I care for it?

Hand wash or delicate machine wash in cold water, then lay flat to dry. Treating it gently keeps the silk content looking its best.

What can I use instead of Lamana Perla if it is out of stock?

If your color or size is out of stock, look for another DK weight blend with natural fiber and a bit of shine, our cotton yarn and alpaca blends make good companions, and our team is always happy to help you find a close match in person or by email.
