Woot! My Alpaca arrived today and I’m in heaven.
I ordered a few bags to start with just to see how I liked it and I will definitely be going back again. This is beautiful fiber from ladyolivia Alpaca Avenue by Kerstin Kerr on Etsy. So soft and clean and very fine. It was easy to spin into a fingering weight yarn as 2 ply so I’m sure I could do lace or DK with ease even if I had to go to a 3 ply for Worsted weight.
Now, I just have to decide what to knit with it. Mittens or fingerless gloves maybe? ideas?
