DESIGNER RECOMMENDED YARN: Road to China Light by Fibre Co. (65% Alpaca / 15% Silk / 10% Cashmere goat, /10% Camel; 50g/159 yds):  8 (9, 10, 11) Skeins.  Shown in Moonstone. 

ALTERNATE YARN: Baby Alpaca by Blue Sky Fibers  (100% baby alpaca; 50g/110 yds): 12 (13, 15, 16) Skeins.  This delightfully soft yarn rivals the hand of Road to China Light but without the distinct sheen of silk.  Also a luxurious yarn with amazing drape. PRE-ORDER now available in all colors in the Blue Sky Fibers catalog.  Please allow at least 7 business days for your Pre-Order to arrive at your location.

ALTERNATE YARN: Caprino by Malabrigo (80% Super Fine Merino Wool / 20% Cashmere: 50g/159yds):  8 (9, 10, 11) Skeins.  For those who would prefer a little more structure and bounce and a little less drape due to the merino wool content.  Lusciously soft in the hand.  For best results when working with hand dyed yarns we strongly suggest alternating skeins of the same color throughout your project.
