Mirtillo - Baby Alpaca + Silk + Linen

For this Spring/Summer season I decided to bring back some of my old semisolid colorways in some new yarn blends that will work amazing for all your warm weather light knits: tees, tops, shawls, light cardigans. 

The colors are presented in 3 different yarn bases all with similar characteristics and texture so they can all be combined together. Stripes, marls, color blocks, let your creativity flow!

Yarn: Baby Alpaca + Silk + Linen

Composition: 50% Baby Alpaca + 25% Silk + 25% Linen 

Weight: light fingering/fingering

Meterage-Yardage: 400m/437 yds each 100g skein

Colorway: Mirtillo - a dark navy blue with purplish undertones

Recommended needle size - gauge

2.25 to 3.25 mm (U.S. 1 to 3) needles - around 27–32 sts in Stockinette stitch to 10 cm - 4"

3.25 to 3.75 mm (U.S. 3 to 5) needles - around 23–26 sts in Stockinette stitch to 10 cm - 4"

This is a very soft yarn with a gentle silky shine. The linen does not take the dye so it gives the yarn a somewhat rustic feeling and texture.

It is so drapey and light so it is perfect for spring/summer knits.
