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.

This is a nice light multi colored summer yarn. The slight sheen and nubby texture lend this yarn to dressier sweaters. It can also be mixed with a solid cotton, such as Jaeger's Pure Cotton, if you want to up the gauge but keep the fabulous colors and texture.

$12.95 |

This yarn has been a best seller for three seasons. The colors are wonderful - there are beautiful muted shades as well as some fun and funky brights. This yarn works great when you double it with a thin cotton like we did in our tank top - or if you want a lighter, drapier look - it works well on it's own too. Cancun is also the perfect choice when you are looking to make a Missoni style striped garment -- the colors and texture work well when looking for this effect.
