My Experience
Where I got it: I got it from Hinterland to make a new sweater design
Needles I used: Hiya Hiya US 7/4.5 mm
Blocked Gauge I got: 17 sts/28 rows = 4"/10 cm
My Thoughts: This yarn blooms like no other thanks to the alpaca content and woolen spun structure. The finished fabric has a velvety soft halo with a cohesive, warm, and squishy texture. It's got more drape than is common for woolen spun yarns, but is still very sturdy, particularly at a tighter gauge. See the last swatch image for what it looks like with some texture - subtle and rustic.
What I might design with it: I participated in last year's Hinterland Straits collection with Halyard and Camber, both knit up in Range, and I'm excited to be currently finalizing a pullover for this year's Straits collection.
