I need a knitting pattern for my new handspun alpaca yarn?
I recently got some beautiful handspun baby alpaca, and I just can’t find anything to do with it! I’ve looked evey were, but I can’t find a suitable pattern. It’s a beautiful variegated blue, from seafoam to periwinkle, to indigo. The weight varies, but generally it’s in between a medium/worsted and bulky. It’s 150 yards, and 2.3 ounces, and it is SO soft. I’m also getting more handspun yarn, variegated purple merino, and rainbow bamboo. I really want something to do with it, it cannot just be sitting in my stash for months!
You don’t have too much yarn to work with so may I suggest checking out this hat site. The pictures are there along with the instructions and they are free.
