Hand dyed 100% baby alpaca (aran)

*** PATTERN CORRECTION ***
Unfortunately we have become aware that gremlins have been at work and some errors crept into the printed version of the Diamonds and Purls textured wrap pattern featured in Simply Knitting issue 49. Please click here to download the corrections. Please note you will need Adobe Acrobat Reader to view the file.

Huggable! A feather-light yarn carefully spun to give a cabled appearance, giving the yarn strength but without weight. Suggested needle sizes: 4.5mm – 6.5mm

Uses: This yarn is ideal for baby blankets and garments where a more chunky effect is needed but which is still light and soft. It is very comfortable, even against the skin. This yarn should substitute for most aran patterns and is a good alternative for those who like the look of cables but find the finished garments rather heavy.

Our hand dyed yarns are individually hand dyed by Debbie and supplied as skeins. Variation between skeins is part of the charm of these unique yarns as no two are alike. We recommend that you knit hand dyed yarns in imaginary stripes, switching between skeins approximately every three to four rows for the best effect.
