Have you ever crocheted with Alpaca yarn? I had not. We have a local alpaca ranch and the owners are very nice people. The woman hand spins and hand dyes the alpaca fur into wonderful yarn. I bought one skein/hank to see if I liked working with it. My title links to their website if you are interested.
The yarn is 90% alpaca and 10% silk. This color is a periwinkle that is very soft and pretty. I crocheted this scarf in single and triple stitches. It is super simple and easy to wear. I had plenty of yarn to complete my project. Now this scarf is wrapped and awaiting to be unwrapped as a Christmas gift to someone who will really like wearing it. She did see it while I was working on it with no idea I was making it for her. How fun is that?
Do you crochet? What is your favorite thing to crochet?
Years and years ago I crocheted full size ripple afghans with matching pillows for Christmas gifts to family members. I made 6 sets in one year. That was a bit much however I was much younger and wrists, hands and fingers were not acting cramped or painful back then.
It feels so good to accomplish something and be able to check it off the list.
Happy crocheting and creating...
