Chibi Paka
Soft and ready for a cozy project, Chibi Paka pairs superwash merino wool with baby alpaca for lovely body, clear stitch definition, and a gentle halo.
Choose a solid shade or a “twist” colorway, where the solid is plied with vanilla. It’s a little extra character for your next hat, cowl, or shawl.

Maker & Impact
Ikigai Fiber is owned by Pam Powers, who draws on her Japanese heritage and enjoys exploring the history, culture, and social value of handcrafting in Japan.
“Ikigai” is the Japanese philosophy of having a source of value in your life that makes everything worthwhile, your reason to get out of bed in the morning. It is often pictured as the overlap between what you love, what you are good at, what the world needs, and what you can be paid for. A lovely thought to carry into your next project.
