Pascuali Puno | Organic Cotton & Alpaca

Puno is a beautifully soft yarn made from 70% GOTS-certified organic cotton and 30% fine alpaca. Both fibres come from Peru, where the yarn is also spun.

I’ve added Puno to my shop because I was looking for exactly this kind of all-round yarn: natural, calm in its stitch definition, and at the same time wonderfully soft thanks to the alpaca content. It’s a yarn that blends effortlessly into many different projects while still bringing its own subtle depth.

The combination of smooth cotton and fluffy alpaca creates an even yet lively fabric. It lets textures and simple stitch patterns shine in equal measure. Puno is a true all-season yarn that works beautifully for both knitting and crochet.

What I especially love is its versatility: lightweight tops, shawls, scarves, or anything in between. It feels soft against the skin and can be worn directly next to the body.

Please make sure to order enough yarn for your project so you can work from the same dye lot. A small swatch right after purchase will help you estimate your yarn usage and plan your project with ease.

Why do you only offer a small selection of yarns?
I carefully choose every yarn so it fits my designs and is a joy to work with. For me, it’s about quality over quantity, so you don’t have to scroll through endless options but can quickly find something that truly works.

Are the yarns sustainable?
Yes, this is very important to me. I work with producers who focus on responsible production, fair working conditions, and environmentally conscious materials. This way, you can enjoy your knitting with a good feeling.

How do I find the right yarn for my project?
In my patterns and kits, you’ll always find clear yarn recommendations, so you can get started with confidence. And if you’re unsure, I’m always happy to help you choose the right match so your project turns out just as you imagine.

Can I buy the yarn separately as well?
Yes, selected yarns are also available individually in my shop. This gives you the freedom to mix and match and create your project exactly the way you want it.
