Alpaca softness

I picked up some wonderful worsted weight alpaca yarn from Misty Haven Alpaca farm this spring. The reason for a visit to the farm was to pick up a birthday gift for my mother (and a little something for me too).



Hand dyed in a rich denim colour.





100% alpaca = pure softness





The cowl is Foxglove. Available on Elann.com.



I modified by casting on only 108 stitches instead of 144. I prefer my cowls to fit closer to the neck.


Now, I 'm not wishing for the cold weather to come, I am enjoying this warm summer way too much! But when the cold wind does start to blow, I will be ready!


Are you ready?
