Yarn Content: 45% Baby Alpaca, 45% Merino, 10% Cashmere
Yarn Gauge: 4.5 sts = 1″/US 7 needle
Yarn Length: 105 yds/50g ball

This yarn has a wonderful hand. Great stitch definition, perfect for cables and colorwork. With its delicous blend of alpaca, merino, and cashmere, who could resist?

There are newly expanded colors from this year, all sophisticated and warm in hue. (My favorite being color 2878- taupe!)

Our patterns range from blankets to jackets. This is the type of yarn you will want to keep close to you on those crisp mornings and chilly nights.

Kelly-Ann has made a gorgeous pair of cabled gloves, using only 2 balls, in color 1042.

This is the Galway Diamond Sweater that graced the runway…

Saturday, Sunday and Monday were buying days for the yarn shops and selling days for me.  It was GREAT to see the wonderful reaction to the newest yarns.  I just love to sit with a shop owner to discuss colors, textures everything about yarn and the industry.

It was great to see the wonderful reaction to the new colors of one of my favorite yarns,

This is a one ball project – JUST ADD NEEDLES. This ball includes 2 patterns, 3 duckie button and 200 grams of yarn, enough to complete 1 of the included designs.

Overall it was a wonderful show with a great outcome – more yarn to knit with….

Happy Knitting
