Instructor: Jolene
Class Description: To really know what I am talking about you should first touch the yarn. Then pick it up and see how soft and light it is. This yarn is constructed like an icord (not ply like many yarns). This unique construction paired with the alpaca fiber creates a super soft and really warm yarn. This sweater showcases the yarn in use of simple stockingette stitch, cables and a little lace.
