The silk in this yarn reflects light like a prism while the soft and hollow alpaca fibers act like goose down, keeping you toasty without the weight. This yarn has a truly elegant (hence the name) sheen with surprisingly clear stitch definition, so cable accents and textured patterns graciously lend to the sophistication of the final garment. Baby alpaca is a super soft classification of alpaca, and you will love the luxurious feel of this yarn against your skin.

“Elegance knits up at 5.5 stitches per inch on US 5 or 6 needles. It worked up quickly, easily, and evenly for me, producing a next-to-the-skin soft and plump fabric. It has the visual shimmer of silk paired with the slinky drape and warmth of alpaca.” Knitters Review 

“I have been a customer for many years…I just finished knitting a complicated shrug-type sweater with a series of baby cables. I used Elegance. *It is the most beautiful of sweaters*. Everywhere I wear it, I get compliments…Anyway I love getting the catalog and wish I could knit faster so I could order more!!” Carole A., Knit Picks customer
