Prime Alpaca

Alpaca with a Twist - Big Baby
Big Baby - 100% Baby Alpaca, 3.5oz (100g), 82 yards. Colors shown are taupe, blue, charcoal, cream and plum. At this stage of my knitting experience, this is by far my favorite yarn. It is buttery, springy, soft, and luscious. . .try it you won't be disappointed.
And . . . More Hats! Bobbles & Cable; Crosspatch

The Bobbles & Cable hat is knit up in Reynolds' Andean Alpaca Regal on US #9 needles and the Crosspatch Hat (pattern from http://www.knitty.com/) is knit up in Big Baby Alpaca with a Twist in Cream and Chocolate colors, US#9 needles.
Big Baby Alpaca yarn is a lovely yarn to knit. It is soft on the hands, has a springy texture and behaves nicely. The Alpaca Regal has about 10% Wool and the texture on this yarn is nice, not as springy and buttery as the Big Baby Alpaca but good nonetheless; has a lovely sheen and one ball goes a long way!
