Suggested yarn is an alpaca/acrylic blend worsted weight yarn, but any worsted weight yarn will work.

Note: This pattern requires working with four skeins at a time, two in each color. You can manually split a skein in half.

The sample for this pattern was knit in size large and used about two and a half skeins of Lion Brand’s Touch of Alapaca yarn in black and just under two skeins of Yarn bee’s Alapaca Twist in white.
