This 100% alpaca was like crocheting with butter! Amazingly smooth and faultless! I'll have to be sure and invest in really good alpaca from now on. I chose a basic feather and fan pattern for this scarf and worked it up in only a couple of weeks. It was a giant skein of 650 yards.
For this scarf I used Berroco Lustra yarn which is 50% Peruvian Wool and 50% Tencel Lyocell. It's a wonderful yarn to work with and the feather and fan stitch works great with it!
This was a quick scarf to make and I really liked this yarn. The scarf is made from two skeins of classic shades universal yarn. This was the first time I tried doing a fan stitch which is a little bit different from a shell stitch. I'll have to make some more in different colors!
