Hand-Knit Shawl - "Pay it Forward" Pattern

This lacy shawl in earthy tones was knit by local artisan Kathleen Carty for Ballintotas Alpacas. It features yarn from our alpacas co-oped with many small farms to produce a yarn that knits with beautiful drape.

Do not put alpaca in hot water, agitate it, or dry in a dryer or on a heat source.

Soak in room temperature water with gentle detergent or shampoo for 30 minutes, rinse, gently squeeze away excess water, and lay flat to dry.

Wipe soiled area with a damp cloth free from soap, and allow it to air dry. Gently brush fur when dry and shake to fluff.
