Soft Suri Alpaca

Myrtle by Kate Davies
Fyberspates Cumulus, colors Moonlight, Water, Silver, Slate

Knit with the softness of Suri alpaca! Fyberspates Cumulus shimmers with silk & a gorgeous baby Suri alpaca halo. A wonderful alternative to Mohair, this yarn is a delight to knit alone or hold with your favorite yarn to increase gauge or just add a bit of luxe & dimension to a project.

Designer Kate Davies & Carol Feller have created three patterns that bring out the best of this yarn & suit a variety of knitting levels.

The Myrtle sweater features a lace pattern worked in four shades, with 1x1 ribbing at the hem, cuffs and neckline. The horseshoe lace chart is worked in the round to the underarms, back and forth for front and back, and in the round again for the sleeves.

Electric Village by Kate Davies is a dramatic shawl with a bold, graphic chevron design & wide colorblock bands of fuchsia.

Mithral Hat by Carol Feller is a light, airy lace beanie with a flattering (and comfortable!) ribbed brim. The hat uses 2 colors of Fyberspates Cumulus with the contrast color being used for the underside of the folded brim. It could also be knit in one color, but you would still need 2 balls.
