Natural fiber yarns can sometimes "bleed" - this means that the yarn can still have residual pigments from the dye, which then dissolve and rub off during knitting or the first wash. If this happens, experience shows that it is mainly with dark or strong colors. We therefore recommend washing the yarn or the textile knitted from it separately during the first wash; there should be no further "bleeding" after that.

The term baby alpaca does not mean that the wool used comes from small alpaca babies. Rather, it is a quality feature and says something about the fineness of the fiber. Adult animals that have such fiber quality are the most valuable animals.
