Scarlet Tailored Strands Alpaca Lace

I have been buying Tailored Strands coloured 4-ply alpaca yarns from Alpaca Plus in Douglas Road, Henley Brook.  They have recently started to stock Tailored Strands 2-ply alpaca lace yarn so I have given it a try by weaving a scarf in their scarlet coloured yarn.
I am delighted with the thinner and lighter product which retains that lovely softness associated with alpaca yarns.  This first scarf is nice and long, being 1920mm x 240mm and weighs 147g.




The discerning buyer can purchase this scarf at Alpaca Plus from this weekend.
I plan to switch to this 2-ply yarn for my future coloured alpaca scarves.
