| We used 2 strands of Blue Sky Alpaca to knit this hooded poncho. It looks so cute on. We used 10 skeins for a size small. The pattern for this poncho comes in two adult sizes.
This pattern can be found in our book, The Yarn Girls' Guide to Beyond the Basics. This is a Yarn Co. Original Pattern. When you purchase yarn to knit this design, we will send you a custom-sized pattern for free. Call our order line, 1-888-YARNCO1 in order for us to determine your size. |

Not only is Alpaca yarn one of the softest fibers next
to Cashmere, it is also extremely warm. Blue Sky Alpaca is 100% alpaca wool
and is available in several neutral tones as well as some rich, deep hues. Knitting with this yarn is wonderful.
You can knit this yarn using a single strand for a thin but luxurious feeling
sweater you can knit with a double strand on a size 10 or 10.5 needle. Alpaca makes for great hand-knit kids’ sweaters as well - our favorite is kids' knitting project is knit with a double strand of
yarn in garter stitch with a cable up the center.
