Vilja is a magical 3-ply yarn spun from Peruvian alpaca fibers. It impresses with its softness, warmth, and flexibility, making it ideal for a variety of projects. The fibers used to spin Vilja are of the same high quality as Alva.
The alpaca belongs to the llama family, which in turn is part of the camel family, and originates from the South American high Andes. The indigenous peoples of South America have known and used alpaca fiber for thousands of years.
In the South American high Andes, temperatures can fluctuate between +30 and -20 degrees Celsius within a single day. The hollow structure of alpaca fibers creates space for air pockets, making the fiber breathable on warm days and insulating on cold nights. This makes alpacas well-suited for life in the high Andes and the alpaca fiber perfect for clothing.
Vilja was previously sold under the name Indiecita.
