Pujpu Light, the most beloved yarn for its elasticity and resistance in a blend of alpaca and sheep

January 2026

Pujpu Light, one of the most beloved yarns

Those of us who work with fibers know how difficult it is to find a yarn that combines softness, strength, elasticity, and above all, is available in the right quantity when orders arrive.

Too often, garments lose their shape with use, colors fade, or stock doesn’t arrive on time to meet production needs. Pujpu Light emerges as the answer to these real challenges: a reliable, versatile yarn with a unique structure that has become one of our clients’ favorites.

Premium composition

Pujpu Light is made with a blend of alpaca and merino wool. expressed in its formula: 70% Baby Alpaca, 7% Merino Wool (21.5 mic.) and 23% recycled polyamide. This combination ensures a soft touch, natural sheen, elasticity, and superior resistance that extends the life of each garment.

It comes in 1 kg cones with immediate availability, and can also be ordered in skeins with a minimum order of 30 kg, allowing up to 6 different colors (5 kg each). Production time for this format is approximately 3 weeks, ideal for personalized collections.

The inner mesh that makes it unique

The spun structure of Pujpu Light contains an inner mesh that provides strength and elasticity. Thanks to this innovation, garments maintain their shape and volume even after multiple washes or intensive use.

Case in point: A workshop producing sweaters in the USA for export chose Pujpu Light because they needed a yarn that could withstand the tension of 3gg gauge machines. The result was garments with fluid drape and firm structure that passed quality tests without deforming.

Real applications

Pujpu Light is a worsted DK yarn, available for both industrial and artisanal knitting.

  • Industrial knitting: Recommended for 3gg gauges, ideal for sweaters and cardigans with volume and consistency.
  • Hand knitting: Works perfectly with 5 mm – US 8 needles, ideal for scarves and hats that require softness and strength.
  • FASTRACK: Also available in raw form, so businesses can customize orders and bring their collections to life.

Colors that inspire

The current palette of 34 colors highlights the natural sheen of alpaca and merino wool, complemented by recycled polyamide that adds strength and durability. This allows brands to create modern, distinctive palettes that adapt to trends without losing the premium essence of the fibers.

Garments made with Pujpu Light

Some of the most outstanding pieces made with this yarn include:

  • Oversized sweaters with fluid drape and firm structure.
  • Hand-knitted scarves, soft to the touch and resistant to daily use.
  • Industrial cardigans that maintain volume and elasticity even in large-scale production.
  • Artisanal hats that preserve their perfect fit thanks to the inner mesh.

Real case: An independent brand in Lima used Pujpu Light for its winter collection. Hand-knitted hats sold quickly because customers praised their softness and comfortable fit, while industrial sweaters maintained their shape after weeks, conveying trust and quality.

Recommended care

To preserve the quality of garments made with Pujpu Light:

  • Hand wash with cold water.
  • Do not use washing machine or dryer.
  • Do not wring; gently remove excess water.

These certifications provide peace of mind to both brands and end consumers, reinforcing trust in every garment produced.

Sustainability and commitment

Pujpu Light stands out not only for its quality but also for its environmental responsibility. The inclusion of 23% recycled polyamide reduces ecological impact and gives new life to materials that would otherwise become waste.

Example: A European brand working with alpaca accessories chose Pujpu Light for its eco-friendly collection. The result was scarves that delighted customers with their softness while clearly communicating a message of sustainability.
