Big Little Yarn Co - British Wool Alpaca Fingering
Big Little Yarn Co's British Wool Alpaca Fingering is a rustic, woolly, non-superwash yarn base spun in a traditional 2-ply construction. It features a carefully curated heritage blend of 40% Blue Faced Leicester (BFL) wool, 40% Shetland wool, and 20% Grey UK Alpaca, yielding 400 meters (437 yards) per 100g skein. This specialty base carries the brand's standard STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX safety and quality certification.
Why You’ll Love It:
✔ A True Heritage Blend - Bringing together silky British BFL, crisp and bouncy Shetland wool, and plush grey alpaca produces a unique, character-rich fabric with exceptional depth.
✔ Exceptional Structural Memory - Being completely non-superwash, the wool fibers retain their natural crimp and scales, meaning garments maintain their blocked shape perfectly over time without sagging
✔ Lightweight Thermal Efficiency - The delicate 2-ply twist trap air effectively, giving you the supreme, lightweight warmth of alpaca combined with the airy loft of Shetland wool

Tips with working with Big Little Yarn Co yarns
All skeins are carefully dyed with acid dye, washed and rinsed, however some bleeding may still occur. Each skein is unique and therefore colors may vary slightly from one to the next. Due to differences between monitors and screens, actual colors may also vary from what is shown.

Let customers speak for us
from 186 reviewsI absolutely love the tool. It's gorgeous looking and very helpful. The tape is wider than usual ones. Doesn't get tangled
Decided to check out the store while on vacation in Singapore and it did not disappoint. It was well stocked with beautiful displays and showed the diversity of quality yarns. As I’m new to crocheting, Cecilia spent over a hour patiently explaining things to me and helping me select some beautiful skeins and shawl pins. Overall, a lovely store with excellent customer service. Highly recommend and will return anytime I’m in Singapore.
Nice colour, soft, easy to knit
Honestly, it was a great experience. I would love to go again during the next holidays, so I will start saving up ;)
All the Designs are what I wanted!
Such a lovely yarn to work with, and the sheen!
I am always extremely pleased using Furls Odyssey Crochet hooks as they are faultless! This one wasn’t the first purchased and I am sure it will not be the last. My parcel was delivered very fast, coming from the other half of the world ! Thank you Yarning Hearts! Good job, good job!
These organic yarn comes in pretty pastel and bright colours with a light sheen. The cottony soft and smooth texture feels comfortable against the skin. We are very happy with the buy!
Great value for the sturdy material and quantity. Comes in lovely colors too!
Furls Odyssey hooks are terrific.
The hook I purchased from Yarning Hearts is beautiful and I was pleasantly surprised at the swiftness of its arrival.
Knitpro Natural Yarn Dispenser
Very soft and squishy, can imagine would be very cozy to wear next to skin. And it feels good on the hands to knit with too.
Great quality yarn, fast delivery. Perfect for my baby blanket project
Really nice colours with soft texture. Love this yarn
Handy, good design and well crafted leather. Good value for money!!
