Surely it will be warm weather soon, and thoughts will turn to lighter weight yarn for knitting and crochet projects. I found this pretty shawl on Ravelry, knit by Lynn Fukutani, using Mariquita Yarn, a Fingering weight yarn, which is a luxurious blend of 50% Baby Alpaca and 50% Tencel.
Mariquita yarn has a subtle shine and a beautiful drape, and is the perfect choice for this lightweight, asymmetrical shawl.

I love, love, love the new yarn called Mariquita from The Alpaca Yarn Company. If you liked the Astral Yarn in all its beautiful colors, you will like this one too. It has 50% tencel which is what gives it the lovely sheen like the Astral, and it is blended with 50% baby alpaca! This Crescent Shawl, pattern by Julie Aakjaer, was perfect for the Mariquita, our new fingering weight yarn. I used a smaller size hook than what the pattern calls for, which created a very lacy look that I think is very pretty with this yarn.
