November. It's getting really cold outside. Time for hats, scarves and such. I present my most recent hat and cowl, made from an amazing alpaca yarn. Unbelievably soft and warm. I bought the yarn from an alpaca farm, Green Gable Alpacas, on Prince Edward Island, Canada. Just over 5 years ago, we visited this farm during vacation, where we had the chance to see the animals, yarns, and meet the farm's owner - Janet. I bought some yarn back then as well, but it's waiting for the right pattern. Regarding pattern choice in today's post, I picked it because it went well with the yarn's colour, as it created a pine cone - like effect. What I really like, is that on the label, it is written which specific alpacas the fibers came from.
Wishing everyone lots of good health.
Listopad.
Zimno juz. Czas na czapki, szaliki i tym podobne. Przedstawiam niedawno
zrobiona czapke i komin z przecudnej wloczki z alpaki. Niesamowicie
mieciutka i cieplutka. Wloczke kupilam z firmy (Green Gable Alpacas),
ktora zajmuje sie hodowla alpak i wyrobem wloczek z ich futra, na Wyspie
Ksiecia Edwarda w Kanadzie. Kilka lat temu odwiedzilismy farme
osobiscie podczas wakacji, i moglismy zobaczyc alpaki, wloczki i poznac
wlascicielke farmy - Janet. Wtedy tez kupilam sobie wloczke, ale czeka
ona na odpowiedni wzor. A odnosnie dzisiejszego wzoru, to wybralam go
poniewaz fajnie pasowal mi do koloru wloczki, dajac efekt przypominajacy
szyszke. Co mi sie bardzo podoba to to, ze na etykiecie zostalo napisane z ktorych indywidualnych alpak uzyto wlokien do wyrobu danej wloczki.
Pozdrawiam wszystkich cieplutko i zycze duzo dobrego zdrowia.
