With the hot weather here and the air conditioning pumping, we are ready for fall sweater making! The focus of fall yarns has fallen upon us (no pun intended), including our new yarns from Peru – Kinua! The softness of Kinua’s Luxury Blend fingering weight yarn is a joy to stitch with. The Growing Leaves Sweater pattern–designed especially for Kinua’s Luxury Blend fingering weight–features a touch of lace perfect for the start of sweater season.

Kinua Luxury Blend fingering weight is a fluffy dream for your next project. The blend of 70% Fine Peruvian Merino Wool with 30% Baby Suri Alpaca puts the luxury in luxury blend. You can read more about this yarn and Kinua Premium Yarns here!
