Isager Baby

Pure, unadulterated softness for the most delicate skin. Isager Baby Alpaca is a 100% alpaca yarn with a chainette-style construction that provides incredible loft and lightness. As the name suggests, it is the premier choice for baby garments, but its luxurious feel and sophisticated drape make it equally wonderful for adult accessories that require a touch of pure indulgence.

The Details: Pure Indulgence from Denmark

If you are looking for the "softest of the soft," Isager Baby Alpaca is the answer. Because it contains no wool, it has a different kind of warmth—one that's constant and gentle. The chainette construction helps prevent the "stretching" that sometimes happens with 100% alpaca, ensuring your garments hold their shape better over time. It is a decadent choice for everything from tiny baby booties to the most luxurious winter cowl you’ll ever own.
