Its a new week for #ShowMeYourKnits 🧶 and @livrunsfast.bsky.social wants to see Floof.
I really love brushed alpaca! Especially in combination with lace and structure! Eg. My blooms

Blooms scarf. Dark red melange fluffy shawl, medium length of approx. 1 metre. You only need about 300 m of your favorite spring or summer yarn. A natural fiber content of about 50% ensures that the lace pattern remains nice and open. The shawl is knitted over 294 rows and a maximum of 77 stitches and is perfect for non-elastic materials such as silk, 
cotton, linen or viscose. Alternatively a brushed alpaca also works well for the lace pattern and gives you a feather-light, fluffy feeling on the neck. Blooms scarf. Black scarf in the making, brushed alpaca and lace cotton for an aran weight version of approximately 1.20 metres length Blooms sweater Knitted in brushed alpaca, absolute lightweight. The pattern is available in an incredible 11 sizes, for people with a chest circumference from 80 cm to 146 cm. 
But diversity does not stop here! This pattern comes standard with yoke for normal, short (petite) and tall sizes. 
A short size will never fit well by simply shortening the overall length. This instructions takes that into account, so any chest measurement will work for people under 5’6” as well as for people over 5’7”. Detail of blooms sweater: a ruffle cuff at the sleeve and lovely big blooming flowers at the hem

I actually add a lot of fluff, once it was mohair-silk, but meanwhile I used up all my mohair fluff in this mega- blanket and switched for my sweaters and accessories to brushed 🦙 alpaca
