Sterk from Du Store Alpakka is a soft and durable sport yarn that combines alpaca, merino wool, and nylon. This combination results in a lightweight yarn with good thermal insulation, high durability, and a soft feel against the skin.
Sterk is suitable for everything from sweaters, cardigans, and children's clothing to hats, mittens, socks, and other frequently used garments. Thanks to its nylon content, the yarn is extra durable, while the alpaca and merino wool provide warmth and comfort.
