The Wool and the Gang Feeling Good Yarn is a premium, lightweight choice for knitters and crocheters who prioritize both comfort and ethical sourcing. This soft blend of alpaca, merino, and recycled nylon is specifically designed for creating year-round garments that feel luxurious against the skin, such as sweaters, scarves, and snoods. While it offers exceptional fluffiness and durability, users should note that the delicate fibers require careful hand-washing to maintain the integrity of the yarn over time.

Yes, the blend of alpaca and merino is designed to be soft and non-irritating for direct contact with the skin.
While soft, ensure the recipient is not allergic to alpaca or wool, and always follow the hand-wash care instructions carefully.
The addition of recycled nylon provides extra structural durability to reduce pilling compared to 100% natural fiber yarns.
Due to its lightweight nature, it is best paired with medium-sized needles or hooks to maintain the loft and airiness of the knit.
The fibers are sourced from the Andean Highlands in Peru, focusing on ethical support for local alpaca communities.
Switch to bamboo or wooden needles to increase friction and handle the delicate fiber blend more gently.
Ensure you are drying the garment flat on a flat surface rather than hanging it, which can stretch the fibers under the weight of water.
To ensure your project lasts, proper care is essential. Always hand wash your finished garments using cold water and a gentle wool detergent to preserve the natural oils and structure of the alpaca and merino fibers. Never wring out the excess water; instead, lay the item flat on a towel and roll it to absorb moisture before letting it air dry in the shade. Do not tumble dry, bleach, or use hot water, as these will cause the fibers to felt or lose their softness. When storing your yarn or finished pieces, keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fiber degradation.
