I named this design after the yarn used for this project – Lamana Cusco – because I fell in love of this 100% baby alpaca wool as soon as I touched it for the first time.
It’s impossible to describe the softness of this Peruvian wool. Cusco is a suitable project for you if you love cables in an untraditional way. And a natural fox pom-pom is a must have detail that flawlessly finishes the design.
