Canopy Fingering

The Fibre Company
50% baby alpaca, 30% merino wool 20% bamboo

7-8 sts / 1" on a US 1-3 needle

Canopy is available in 2 weights, Fingering and Worsted. Try this yarn out for socks, the bamboo gives it strength while the alpaca gives it softness, or lovely shawls. Once blocked I think this yarn will have a lovely halo which will give it added warmth without any heaviness. The bamboo gives it a deep sheen that gives the color a subtle varigation that increases the colors depth. It's hard to convey online but if you've seen the way Road to China takes dye, this is similar.
