Holst Garn Titicaca

Where the Andes meet Denmark.

3,812 meters above sea level lies Lake Titicaca, between Peru and Bolivia, where alpacas have lived for millennia in the thin air of the Andes. And in the small Danish town of Aabybro, where Helle Holst selects her yarns with the care of a lifelong knitter, the idea arose: What if this ancient wisdom of the mountains met Nordic clarity?

Titicaca is 100% pure magic. Alpaca wool in its most original form – a 2-ply yarn so finely spun that 400 meters fit into just 50 grams. That is not just generous, it is an invitation to big dreams. Light as a breath, soft as a memory, strong enough for a lifetime.

You can knit it alone – for scarves that float instead of hang, for shawls that embrace you without suffocating. Or you let it accompany other yarns, transforming Supersoft into silk, giving Coast an aura of tenderness. Titicaca is the quiet partner that makes everything more beautiful without imposing itself.

Helle Holst has thought it through. Not only are the colors well thought out – every shade of Titicaca has found its perfect partner in her other yarns. Perfect Matches, she calls it. As if an experienced knitter were sitting next to you saying: “Try this with that gray. Or with this blue. You will be amazed.”

From 2.5mm needles for delicate projects to 4mm for cozy warmth. Alone or doubled, with partners or solo – Titicaca adapts to your visions, not the other way around. It is the yarn that asks: “What do you want to create?” instead of dictating: “This is who I am.”

Titicaca is the yarn for your quiet dreams. For projects that don't shout, but whisper. For moments when you want to do more than just knit, but float. For everything that should be delicate without being fragile.
