Web-Letter, Issue 184 – Silky Alpaca Lace Scarf As I write this, on the second official day of spring, the forecast is for snow flurries today with more to come later in the week. Tonia’s scarf, in Silky Alpaca Lace, is the perfect color for staving off winter’s (hopefully) last stand and is a great transitional piece for either winter or spring.
The Story: Silky Alpaca Lace is one of my favorite yarns. Last summer I knit with it almost all summer long. In the middle of this past winter, when the Silky Alpaca handpaints arrived, it certainly took away my winter blues.  I could hardly wait for it to be checked in so that I could start swatching it. This scarf is the first of what I hope will be many knits in this yarn. The Yarn: Silky Alpaca Lace 70% alpaca, 30% silk Silky Alpaca Lace is a beautiful blend of fibers, spun into a gossamer yarn that knits into amazing lightweight pieces. The alpaca in this yarn provides warmth and a soft halo; the silk adds a subtle sheen to the knitted  stitches. Worked in lace with larger needles, Silky Alpaca Lace makes lovely, light-as-air shawls, garments and accessories.	more photos The Pattern: Here is the free downloadable Silky Alpaca Lace Scarf pattern.
