DOLCE ALPACA TWEED MONDIAL

YARN WITH KID MOHAIR AND BABY ALPACA

Dolce Alpaca Tweed by Mondial is a light, soft, and elegant yarn, designed for knitting warm garments without feeling heavy. Its blend of Kid Mohair and baby alpaca creates a fluffy and comfortable fabric, while small viscose flecks provide the characteristic tweed finish.

It is an ideal yarn for sweaters, jackets, cowls, and accessories with a sophisticated look. You will especially like it if you are looking for a fiber with volume, delicacy, and a different finish without resorting to complicated stitches.

A light and textured tweed yarn

Dolce Alpaca Tweed features a twisted and slightly carded construction that gives it an airy appearance. Its soft hair envelops the stitch and helps create pleasant, warm garments with an elegant drape.

Carla believes this yarn stands out for its balance: it looks voluminous once knitted, but the garment is surprisingly light. It is an especially beautiful option for loose designs that seek warmth without being heavy.

Why choose Dolce Alpaca Tweed?

Its composition combines noble fibers with microfiber to improve the comfort and behavior of the thread. The result is a delicate, warm, and pleasant yarn, suitable for special autumn and winter garments.

Among its main features, the following stand out:

• Fluffy and slightly hairy texture.

Kid Mohair and baby alpaca for a special touch

The composition of Dolce Alpaca Tweed Mondial gathers 40% Kid Mohair, 20% baby alpaca, 36% polyamide microfiber, and 4% viscose.

Kid Mohair provides lightness, softness, and a delicate hairy texture. Baby alpaca reinforces warmth and contributes to achieving a pleasant fabric. Microfiber provides stability and resistance, while the viscose forms the flecks that define its tweed finish.

Maite considers it one of those yarns that looks especially good in simple line garments. By knitting it in stockinette stitch, the texture and the small flecks become the real stars.

Its thickness and fluffy appearance allow it to be used in a wide variety of projects:

• High-neck sweaters.
• Jackets and cardigans.
• Light vests.
• Cowls and scarves.
• Hats and accessories.
• Large shawls.
• Oversize garments.

A yarn for comfortable and elegant garments

Dolce Alpaca Tweed is especially recommended for those looking for a warm yarn with a refined finish. Its carded texture softens the stitch definition and creates a homogeneous and enveloping surface.

It can be used with simple stitches to highlight the tweed effect or incorporated into designs with soft reliefs. As it is a hairy yarn, it is advisable to avoid overly small or very tight stitches, as they could reduce the lightness of the fabric.

• Handle the strand gently to preserve its structure.
• Choose simple stitches or subtle reliefs.
• Wash the garment by hand.
