I really love working with alpaca fiber. And I really like the results of a knit alpaca scarf even more. Alpaca is one of the softest and warmest natural fiber.
My newest etsy listing is a
handknit 50% alpaca 50% merino wool scarf with 3 rows of subtle cables. It is knit on smaller needles that I usually use and is very delicate and drapes perfectly. I loved knitting with this yarn due to the softness.
Again, I used the cable pattern that doesn't use a cable needle, so it knit up quickly.
I'm also spinning some of my own 100% alpaca. I'm not sure about the colors quite yet, but looking forward to seeing them combined when plyed together. I think I'll call this Arizona Sun Rise.....
What is your favorite yarn to knit with? One of my goals is to try everything available at some point in my life. I guess I'd better get knitting!
Until next week ~ Keep you needles clicking!

My needles have been clicking this weekend. I have faint hope that my shawl will ever be done. As for alpaca, it is simply the best fiber. Why ever use anything else?
