Without a doubt, repeat customers are the best. However, Sheila Saxon is not just a frequent customer, she is a fiber artist extraordinaire! Her knit and felted one-of-a-kind hats are indeed works of art! As a result of receiving order after order for our Classic Alpaca Yarn from her, I finally began to wonder what … Read more
I found this pattern on the My Hobby is Crochet website. It is called Go With the Flow Super Scarf, and can be made as wide and as long as you like. For this scarf I opted for a DK weight yarn, one from our Classic Alpaca Yarn line, because well, I just wanted to make something with this yarn! I love how it turned out!
Here’s the yarn I used. It is beige, light brown, black, and grey, and is 100% alpaca, so is super soft.
This FREE crochet pattern is called Primrose and Proper Fingerless Gloves, and it is designed by Kirsten Holloway. The pattern is an easy one. I love the feminine, lacy look of these pretty fingerless gloves! I used just one skein of our Classic Alpaca Yarn which is available in dozens of colors. I can imagine them also in a Classic Alpaca Tweed Yarn. Pure alpaca equates with very soft, wonderful to work with and feels wonderful on your hands … warm too even with the open stitch pattern in these elegant gloves!
I’ve been in the mood to make baby blankets lately … don’t ask me why. I don’t know anyone that’s expecting a baby and I certainly am way past those years. Maybe it’s because it took so long to warm up here in Ohio, and I haven’t minded having my lap covered with a warm alpaca blanket! Our Classic Alpaca Yarn is the perfect choice for this Sweet Stripes Alpaca Baby Blanket.
This pattern is fairly simple, and I love the post stitches that create the ribs and the ridges in this infinity scarf! The pattern I started with is The Ribs and Ridges Scarf on the The Friendly Red Fox website.
I altered it just a bit. Rather than crocheting a rectangle and sewing the edges together when finished like the pattern instructs, I crocheted the scarf in the round. I just like to be finished, when I’m finished. Do you know what I mean?

I ran across a knitting pattern this morning for Susie Rogers’ Reading Mitts, which seems appropriate to post as I look outside after yet another snowfall! Seems like it’s been an awfully long winter in Ohio, but I’m very happy to see the sunshine peek in and out. This pattern is FREE, and written for … Read more
