The sweater sample was knit in Sandnes Garn Børstet Alpakka (Brushed Alpaca). The cardigan was knit in Kaos Organic Brushed Alpaca, held double. Any yarn that gets gauge can be used for this pattern. Some suggestions from the test knit include Drops Brushed Alpaca Silk, BC Garn Loch Lomond held with mohair, CaMaRose Snefnug, Lion Brand Wool-Ease. The fluffier yarns make this a lighter, airy garment but using denser yarns will work well too.
