Alpaca Design Yarns

Whilst on holiday recently in the Eastern States I purchased 300g each of Alpaca Design 8-ply alpaca yarns coloured in fushia and watermelon. The shop was in Berrimah, NSW.

I was hoping to get two scarves from each colour but found after weaving the first that I only had sufficient for the warp of the second. I used a grey possum/merino mix yarn for the weft of the second scarf in each colour. I used the same pattern for all four scarves.
The solid fushia scarf is 1780mm x 180mm and weighs 157g.The fushia and grey scarf is 1770mm x 150mm and weighs 120g. Despite being from the same warp as the first, the possum/merino weft had a high shrinkage so resulting in a narrower scarf. The possum/merino yarn is also much lighter than the 8-ply alpaca scarf.

The solid watermelon scarf is 1800mm x 180mm and weighs 153g.

The watermelon and grey scarf is 1770mm x 150mm and weighs 120g.

All four scarves will be on sale at Alpaca Plus, Douglas Road, Henley Brook.
