Red's Favorite Things

Red's Favorite Things!
Alpaca...
Hide your shock that alpaca would top the list of Red's favorite things. Still, it is lovely stuff.
Suri Elegance- Suri Alpaca (Lace Weight). More than words, the drape, the softness, the silky like way the lace will act. Ah, truly this is love.
Unless you aren't a lace weight kind of knitter, then I have another suggestion, Blue Sky Alpaca's - Royal and Sport Weight Alpaca. Royal is simply undyed loveliness. Natural colors and unprocessed joy await the knitter of this treat. Remember alpaca is three time lighter than wool and five times warmer. It's the hollow fiber. If you simply need some outstanding color look no further than Syl's new Sport weight Alpaca. It's just below the royal and comes in lovely colors. I like the bright sky blue.


Alpaca Sox- 60% Alpaca, 40% Merino (fingering). My prayers have been answered! It's alpaca for socks! Ah, and the colors! I like the variegation and the colorways have such lovely complimenting and contrasting colors. See for yourself!


The yarn you must have one of! GGH Touch Me- 72% Viscose Micro Fibers/28% New Wool

If you find yourself saying "Why would they call a yarn Touch Me?" then you obviously haven't felt this yarn. I bought one mostly just to nuzzle. Everyone who touches it changes their facial expression and goes "OHHHH!"
