100% alpaca sock with reinforced heel and toe
My first sock with alpaca yarn, and first time working with alpaca ever. These are meant to be house socks only. This yarn is 100% local to me alpaca purchased directly from the small farm!
I think it looks much better in person than photos. I've found alpaca to be tricky to work with. It's so gorgeous and fuzzy and warm but is sooo pliable and willing to gap or form to literally anything. What have your experiences been working with alpaca and advice? I think going forward I would only use alpaca for scarves and sweaters.
