Spinning Alpaca Yarns

Taking a small break from blogging to visit family on the West Coast. Santa Cruz is a neat town. We’re off to Oregon after the holiday. Still knitting though!

I discovered a great book with dozens of patterns for just one skein of yarn. It includes several specifically calling for alpaca yarn and many patterns look easy enough for someone just learning to knit.

Here is the scarf pattern I’ll be using with my alpaca yarn + some photos of my bead work - which is another passion of mine.

On a recent visit to Burlington, MA, I found Edwina’s Nitch, their local yarn store. I found some beautiful alpaca yarn and other fancy specialty yarns to add to my stash. If you’re ever in Burlington, drop by Edwina’s.

Visiting Boston to see the sights! Also found a yarn shop nearby.
