RiGo · Lanalpa Tencel 3/9000 · 300m/328yds per 100g/3.5oz · 50% Merino (WV) 30% Alpaca (WP) 20% Tencel (Tn)
Lanalpa Tencel 3/9000 by RiGo is a three-fiber blend of genuine refinement — merino, alpaca, and Tencel in a DK-weight cord that is ready to knit straight from the cone, no calculations required. Take it as it is and the quality announces itself immediately: smooth, fluid, and with a hand feel that combines the warmth of merino, the silky softness of alpaca, and the cool, fluid drape of Tencel into something distinctly its own.
50% merino provides the foundation: natural warmth, gentle elasticity, and a refined surface that holds stitch definition with clarity. 30% alpaca deepens the softness into something approaching luxury, adding its characteristic weightless warmth and a silky quality that merino alone cannot replicate. 20% Tencel, derived from sustainably sourced wood pulp, introduces a subtle fluid drape and a cool, smooth hand that brings a lightness and modernity to the blend, and adds a delicate natural sheen that catches light in an understated, refined way.
The cord construction is smooth and even, knitting up with satisfying consistency and a polished finish that reflects the quality of all three fibers.
Versatile Use
At 300m/100g, Lanalpa Tencel 3/9000 is a DK-weight yarn ready to knit and crochet as is. For machine knitting, finer strand combinations are equally possible. Performs beautifully in textured stitch patterns, cables, and any design where stitch definition and natural warmth matter. Ideal for refined sweaters, cardigans, shawls, and accessories where the three-fiber blend delivers softness, warmth, and fluid drape in equal measure.
