Inca

Classic Elite Inca Alpaca
$8.00/skein, plus $.50/skein shipping

Classic Elite Inca: 100% alpaca at 5 sts to the inch on a US #6. Soft (they don't call it "the poor man's cashmere" for nothing), warm (8 times as warm as wool), drapey (blocks to show lace patterns beautifully) of course, but that's true of all alpaca. What sets Inca apart is its color range. In addition to luxury-fiber "classics" (black, ivory, charcoal, navy, maroon), Inca has real fashion colors (like orange, sky-blue, and a sharp green) and fascinating heathers (look closely at blue #1107 and you'll see red-violet fibers; #1108 looks like a rich brown from a distance, but turns out to include gold and red as well). $8 for 109 yards (plus $.50 shipping).

Here are pictures from some recent Classic Elite patterns just to get you thinking, but we know you'll have plenty of ideas for this one.

Each pattern shown is $7.00.

Each skein is $8.00, plus $.50 shipping; colors shown below.
