I love this sweater so much. I fell in love with the colors in this yarn about 1.5 years ago. I used some of it to make a scarf for a friend but because this yarn comes in 600 yd hanks, I had a ton left over on top of which because I love it so much I had bought a second hank. I only used about 1.25 skeins of yarn. I went down two needle sizes because I prefer fitted garments, I also added waist shaping – 4 decreases/4 increases. This pattern was extremely easy and quick, I love the simplicity and though there is a cable motif, even that was simple. I can’t say enough about this sweater, I love it, and my husband insists that this sweater is my best yet! It’s definitely going to get a lot of wear this winter and winters to come.

Gorgeous! You knit all the stuff I want to knit!
I’ve never heard of this yarn but will be on the lookout for it. Is it soft enough to be next to the skin?

It’s 100% Alpaca, and it’s super soft against the skin.
