It's no secret that one day, I would like to make my own yarn from scratch. A friend in college used to make fun of me, and ask what the point of doing that would be. I equated it to baking a cake from scratch: It's so satisfying to make a beautiful product on your own. I took a short yarn-dying seminar in college, and the feeling that I could make any color I wanted was incredible. I think that knitting something from yarn that I spun and dyed would be amazing!
So when I win the lottery, I want a beautiful stone farmhouse with enough land (and a barn) for either sheep or alpaca. I just started a
sweater from a merino/alpaca blend, and it's soooooo nice! Warm, soft, squishy yarn that I can't wait to wear. In honor of my obsession, here are some alpaca products:
Happy knitting!
