Wool for durability and warmth, alpaca for softness, and silk for saturated color and sheen.  What more could a ball of yarn want?  How about great pattern support from Elsebeth Lavold's book 13 (Out of the Woods) and 15 (Out of the Blue)?  We love this yarn for hat and scarf combinations, but at 3.75 stitches to the inch, you'll knit up a beautiful garment in no time at all!
