My Joy is spun from the finest grade of baby alpaca – it simply doesn’t get any softer than this. Born from the beloved Puno yarn, My Joy is the result of our persistent request to the spinning mill: to craft a version of Puno using only natural fibres. This is that version.

Unlike Puno, My Joy is made from 100% natural materials. It also has a slightly heavier drape in your knitted fabric and is best worked on needles approximately one size smaller than you'd use for Puno. My Joy is ideal for those who wish to add a touch of cotton to their knits — making the finished garment less warm but still delightfully soft and cozy.

Due to the cotton content, My Joy produces a firmer and more even texture compared to the airy and highly elastic feel of Puno. The yarn almost resembles a blend of cashmere and silk — smooth, soft, and with an elegant drape thanks to its slightly increased weight.

My Joy is perfect for babies and anyone with sensitive skin. It’s also an eco-conscious and economical choice: the yarn goes further than traditionally spun yarns of similar composition, meaning fewer skeins are needed for the same high-quality result — without compromising on luxury.

My Joy is a versatile yarn, suitable for needles ranging from 4 mm up to a maximum of 7 mm.

Specifications:

Fibre content: 55% baby alpaca, 10% merino wool, and 35% organic cotton
Yardage: 50 g = 110 m (120 yds)
Recommended needle size: 4.5–6/7 mm (US 7–10.5)
Gauge: 12–16 stitches = 10 cm / 4" in stockinette stitch
Care instructions: Hand wash at 20–25 °C (68–77 °F) using an enzyme-free wool detergent. Always use a laundry bag throughout the entire wash cycle to prevent the garment from stretching in length. Wash a swatch before washing your finished piece. Limit wash time to 5 minutes and rinse at the same temperature. Gently press out excess water while the knit is still in the laundry bag. Spin-dry in a washing machine at medium speed for a short cycle (approx. 3–4 minutes). Lay flat to dry, shape while damp, and allow to air dry completely. Always refer to the washing instructions on the yarn label.
