This sweater jacket original design was created for friend and fellow
breeder, Barb Adams of Windstar Alpacas. The natural white is from
Jeremiah, a wonderfully fibered BEW and the fawn from Windstar Alpacas'
Color Champion, Cinco's Cindilyn .
Although the drop shoulders allow for great continuity in the pattern,
they tend to create an oversize feel and a lot of excess material under
the arms. Coupled with the weight resulting from the pattern, the knit
was converted into a jacket with a bit longer length and the addition of
a satin lining in matching fawn. The lining not only adds structural
support, it eases slipping in and out of the jacket and allows Barb to
wear sweaters underneath friction-free!
