New Yarn.....
November 2nd I posted about going to White Oak Alpaca Farm in Woodland, Washington. (The post is titled, "Field trip to Woodland, Wa.)While at the farm my eye was on a specific yarn and it is now in my possession. Karen Finch mailed me two beautiful skeins of alpaca, merino wool and silk blended yarn recently. The color is a lovely fawn brown, and Karen sent me a picture of the very alpaca the yarn came from. Her name is Minuet. Karen names each animal, and knows which alpaca the yarn has come from by looking at the color, and texture. I find that very endearing and it makes this yarn quite special to me. Now, what do I knit? I am soliciting ideas from those of you who have anything to suggest!! There are 286 yards in each skein. Think simple and do share your ideas!

It's a beautiful yarn and do let us know what you are going to do with it.
I'm thinking there might be enough yarn for a simple vest. How about a shawl to wrap up in?
It's truly beautiful!
Oh it is lovely. I am always glat to meet fellow oregonians especially ones so near to where I work in Tualatin.
Lovely, lovely yarn...that color is so delicate. A scarf or shawl would be delightful knit in it, I think. I just love alpaca yarn...And those creatures are so sweet. I dream of having a wide open space with an alpaca family! :o) Happy knitting, my friend...can't wait to see what you make. ((HUGS))
Beautiful yarn and how sweet that Minuet shared with you :0)
I agree with Willow - a shawl would be perfect. I was wondering if you could tell me the name of the alpaca farm and if I could order some of the yarn for my daughter for Christmas?
