Alpaca Silk is a luxurious blend of 80% baby alpaca and 20% silk, a combination that produces a beautiful soft fabric with a subtle sheen that is a delight to knit as well as to wear. Alpaca Silk comes in a color palette that echoes the season's shades and moods, with rich berry and claret, indigo and forest green. These styles reflect the softness of alpaca and the drape of silk, with form fitting sweaters and wrap around jackets with deep, enveloping collars. There is stitch detail in trellis-style textures that open into ribs and open-work cables, and there are also simple knits in easy stocking stitch. These styles can also be knit in Debbie Bliss's other luxury blend yarns, such as Cashmerino Aran.
