I fell in love with the Lair of the Llama booth (and yarn) at the Great Lakes Fiber Festival this year. The Alpaca Yak yarn and Merino Fingering were just aching to be a drapey cozy scarf. Rhubarb Twist is the result: a balance of a smooth merino yarn and fluffy lightweight alpaca yarn with a stripey effect and topped off with LONG luscious fringe. Heaven in a scarf!

Don’t mind me… I will be wearing this every day from now on.
