Serena, our sportweight baby alpaca-pima cotton yarn, is a yarn destined for soft, close-to-the skin garments and accessories. The yarn is amazingly versatile at the range of gauges it can accomplish, from a compact and opaque fabric to a loose, gauzy one. Delight in the four garments of our Serena Capsule Collection, each of which highlights a different gauge and style.

Sardinia is a cardigan that can be worn open as a second layer or closed as a first. Larger needles keep the ruffles soft with maximum drape; smaller needles and a firmer gauge make the body of the garment crisp in contrast.

I am still finishing up a project but I want to thank you for sending this yarn so promptly. I love the color and the texture and can not wait to use it for my next shawl.
