I cannot resist big, floofy (yes, this is a technical word in knitting) alpaca yarn, but it does present some challenges. The very floofiness that I love fills in the holes in the lace. So, it was go big, or go home! By featuring double yarn overs and a bulky faux-cable, the assertive design elements of Cinches and Ladders stand up to the fuzzy softening of the yarn. The result: you get all of the softness snuggled up against your neck like a kitten, and you get a beautiful lace pattern.

Yarn Color: Blue Mix
