Firstly, consider airing the garment instead of washing it. If washing is necessary, follow these steps:
- Hand wash at 25ºC separately, using wool detergent without enzymes or optical brighteners.
- Avoid soaking the garment.
- Gently move it back and forth without rubbing or squeezing. - Rinse until the water is completely clear, maintaining a consistent water temperature.
- Lightly spin the garment at about 800rpm, using a program that doesn’t add water at the start.
- Alternatively, press the water out carefully with a dry towel without twisting or rolling the garment.
- To dry, shape the garment and lay it flat, ideally on a warm bathroom floor or a drying rack in a well-ventilated room. Avoid hanging and direct sunlight. Do not tumble dry.
Note: For projects made with multiple yarn types, follow the washing instructions for the most delicate yarn used.
The weight/length may vary ±10%. The color may vary slightly depending on the dye lot or your monitor/screen set up.

Yarn Story
ALPINO
Luca-S ALPINO is a luxurious yarn crafted from 60% alpaca and 40% superfine merino wool, offering exceptional softness and warmth for your knitting projects.
Alpaca Wool
Alpaca fiber is a luxurious and natural material obtained from alpacas, primarily found in South America. Known for its softness, durability, and lightweight warmth, it is often compared to cashmere and is warmer and lighter than wool. Alpaca fiber is hypoallergenic, as it contains no lanolin, making it suitable for sensitive skin. It comes in a wide range of natural colors, from white to shades of brown, gray, and black. The fiber is highly versatile, used in textiles such as clothing, blankets, and accessories, and prized for its eco-friendly and sustainable qualities.
Merino Wool
Our Merino is a premium wool fiber sourced from Merino sheep, renowned for its exceptional softness, fine texture, and elasticity. Unlike regular wool, Merino fibers are much finer, making yarns incredibly soft and gentle against the skin, even for those sensitive to wool. This wool is highly breathable, moisture-wicking, and insulating, making it ideal for a wide range of garments, from lightweight summer clothes to cozy winter wear.
