🏴 💙 Gilded Guardian Fluff 🏴 💙
Warmth that watches over you
Wrap yourself in cloud-soft luxury with Gilded Guardian Fluff, a hand-dyed 4-ply brushed suri alpaca yarn that feels as ethereal as its name. Inspired by the warm and watchful spirit of Scotland’s mythical unicorn, this airy yarn blends deep blues, soft greys and gentle whites into every skein — perfect for soft knitwear that’s both elegant and supremely cosy.
Made from 100% Suri alpaca, this yarn has a silky sheen and a unique halo that creates a cloud-light fabric. Suri alpaca is prized for its lustrous drape and softness, offering warmth without weight and a texture that rivals mohair but feels gentler on the skin.

100% hand-dyed brushed Suri alpaca for luxurious softness
Cloud-light halo and silky drape — ideal for stylish garments
Beautiful tonal colour gradients inspired by Scottish landscapes

Yarn Details
Fibre: 100% Suri alpaca
Weight: 4-ply
Texture: Brushed with a soft halo finish
Feel: Silky, smooth, and wonderfully cosy
Ideal Projects: Lightweight sweaters, cardigans, shawls, scarves, hats, wraps
Suri alpaca fibres have long staples and a low crimp, giving them a distinctive sheen and drape that creates stunning knit fabric.
Why You’ll Love This Yarn
Gilded Guardian Fluff knits up into a fabric that feels heavenly against the skin, yet has enough structure to show stitch definition beautifully. The brushed suri fibres catch the light, giving your finished pieces a soft glow and subtle texture that make every project look and feel special.
Whether you’re creating a flowing shawl, a cosy wrap or an elegant sweater, this yarn brings luxury and comfort together in every stitch.
Care Instructions
Hand wash gently in cool water with a pH-neutral wool wash
Avoid agitation to prevent felting
Reshape and lay flat to dry away from direct sunlight
As a hand-dyed fibre, slight variations in tone and depth are part of its character — each braid is unique, just like the Scottish landscapes that inspire Thistle Yarns.
