Winter Yarn That Doesn’t Cause Allergies: The Llama Fiber

Yarns That Care for Your Skin This Winter

When winter arrives, most knitters reach for wool. But for those with sensitive skin or wool allergies, traditional wool can cause itching, redness, or irritation.
The reason lies in lanolin, a natural oil found in sheep’s wool that often triggers allergic reactions.

The good news? There’s a natural alternative that keeps you warm without discomfort.

Llama Fiber Is Not Wool — It’s Hair

Unlike sheep’s wool, llama fiber is hair, which means it does not contain lanolin.
This makes llama yarn naturally hypoallergenic and perfect for people who react to wool or prefer fibers that are gentle on the skin.

Llama hair is smooth, soft, and breathable — ideal for cozy garments that never itch.

Natural Warmth Without Irritation

Llama fiber is incredibly warm, yet breathable. It helps maintain your body temperature without overheating, and its softness feels luxurious on the skin.

At Villama, we offer natural, untreated, and undyed yarns made from llama and merino fibers sourced from small farms. Each skein reflects the authentic texture and tone of nature — no chemicals, no dyes, just pure softness.

Perfect for Sensitive Skin and Winter Projects

If you’ve ever wanted to knit warm winter pieces without worrying about irritation, llama yarn is your perfect match.
From scarves and hats to sweaters and baby garments, it offers natural warmth — without lanolin and without allergies.
