Cakes Alpine Angora: Luxurious Yarn for Cozy Projects
Share
Picture this: you're curled up by a fireplace on a chilly evening, working on a scarf so soft and warm it feels like wrapping yourself in a cloud. That's exactly what you get with Cakes Alpine Angora yarn - a perfect blend of luxury and practicality that makes every stitch a pleasure.
What makes this yarn so special? It's the thoughtful combination of 20% angora for that silky, luxurious feel and 80% acrylic for durability and easy care. The result is a super bulky yarn that works up quickly into projects that look expensive but won't break your budget. Each ball gives you 150 meters (164 yards) of pure crafting joy, and you get two generous 150-gram balls in every package.
The color combinations are where this yarn really shines. From classic neutrals like ecru and grey to vibrant rainbow packs with yellow, green, salmon, blue, and purple, there's a color story for every project and personality. The self-striping nature means your finished piece will have beautiful color transitions without any complicated color work on your part.
If you love the idea of working with super bulky yarns, you might also enjoy the Alpine yarn, which offers a similar weight with a wool-acrylic blend. For those who want to explore other luxurious options, the Alpine Alpaca provides an even more premium feel with 30% alpaca content. And if you're looking for something with a bit of texture variety, the Mohair Classic offers a completely different but equally satisfying crafting experience.
This yarn is perfect for those quick weekend projects we all love. Think chunky scarves that work up in an evening, cozy cowls for last-minute gifts, or those oversized sweaters that look like you spent months on them but actually took just a few days. The super bulky weight means you'll be using larger needles (around 10mm based on the gauge), so your projects grow fast and keep you motivated.
The gauge works out to 9 stitches and 12 rows over 4 inches, which is perfect for relaxed, cozy fabrics. Don't stress too much about getting exact gauge unless you're making fitted garments - this yarn is forgiving and looks great with a slightly loose or tight tension.
Care is refreshingly simple thanks to that acrylic content. While the angora adds luxury, the acrylic means you can machine wash your finished projects without worry. Perfect for scarves, blankets, and anything else that needs regular cleaning.
