Aireado a lofty cloud of baby alpaca is spun with a little merino, and some nylon for strength. It is constructed in a chainette style, meaning it's hollow in the middle and light as a feather, making it incredibly soft and warm. It has a beautiful brushed halo and can be worked up at a variety of gauges to achieve different fabrics. Knit or crochet it at a worsted gauge for something super squishy and cozy, or with a larger needle or hook to really take advantage of its light and fluffy qualities.

The Sweater underneath it is Step by Step Sweater (ravelry link) by Florence Miller using Aireado in the Cider color using US 9 (5.5mm) and US 7 (4.5mm) needles. This is a great first sweater.

The shawl shown over the Step by Step Sweater is Diamante Shawl (ravelry link) by SweaterFreak using one skein each of Transitions in Stratum Shift and Cumbria Fingering in Egremont with US 5 (3.75mm) needles.
