Great news! We are now offering Blue Sky Alpaca Yarns in our store and on our website. Wow! They are a class act yarn supplier and they have the most beautiful patterns. The patterns look kind of like a folded story book with a hint of the antique Burpee seed packaging. I am currently knitting the Westminster Hat pattern which is clearly written and a pleasure to knit. It uses cables without the purl bars between them for a lot of bang for the buck. The pattern calls for 2 skeins of Royal Alpaca Petites and the hat feels like a dream. Oh so soft and warm too. I was out shopping for Christmas gifts last night and I saw a hat at a local department store that was only a 30% alpaca and wool blend for $40 dollars. Now that's expensive...and it was a bit scratchy! I am so glad I can knit because I can make 100% Royal alpaca (which is the Mercedes of Alpaca) for a little less than that. While waiting for the Royal Alpaca to arrive on our shop, I have been knitting up a storm doing 1 X 1 rib hats made from Pure Alpaca by Cascade Yarnsfor all the men in my life. Once I finish those projects, I'm knitting an infinity tube scarf for Lauren (my daughter) in the Blue Sky Alpaca sport weight yarn in the teal color #545 Blue Spruce and a set of fingerless gloves to match.
