Yarn made in Italy, kit assembled in the USA.
Shown in Love Affair (S), Golden Girl (S), Supernatural (S), Night Out (S), and In the Mood for Love (S).
This style is knit from the top-down (basically, you’ll work from the neck down to the bottom hem) and in-the-round, which, big win, means no seaming! If you’ve never knit a top-down sweater before, this sweater would be a great introduction to this very rewarding method. And on size 36 needles, Fluffy Alpaca will quickly knit up into a light and warm cloud of fabric you’ll just have to feel to believe. Available in sizes S through 3X.
*Due to delicate nature of alpaca fiber, some shedding may occur.
