New Eco-knit Alpaca Knitting Kit Teddy Bear

20 February 2008

Toft Alpacas launches new knitting kit for the absolute beginner: The Toft Teddy Bear. This pattern has been designed to appeal to both experienced and absolute beginners, being a very basic initial pattern, which requires as much or as little knitting experience as you have in the customisation. Warwickshire based Toft Alpacas have the fibre of their large herd of alpacas spun into knitting yarns less than thirty miles from the farm, the fibre does not undergo any dyeing or bleaching. The Alpaca Teddy Bear is knitted using 100% Natural British Aran weight alpaca yarn and stuffed with alpaca fleece. The kit also contains sustainably harvested domestic birch hardwood needles, and a contrast colour yarn for sewing facial details and accessories.

Toft Alpaca Teddy Bears will be available in Cream, Oatmeal, Dusty Brown and Chestnut Brown: directly reflecting the colours of the animals grazing the fields.

In addition to the Teddy Bear the new knitting kit range includes: 4ply Baby Alpaca Lacy Scarf, Wrist warmers, Ribbed Beanie and Ladies Sweater (all Double Knit), and Handbag (Aran weight). Some make perfect ‘first knit’ projects, whereas others are specifically designed for the experienced knitter.
