In celebration of their 25th Anniversary, Blue Sky Fibers has designed Celebration Poncho, a fabulous women’s accessory knit in Metalico. This oversize poncho is worked in pieces from the bottom up and then seamed. Blue Sky Fibers has blended their scrumptiously soft baby alpaca with lustrous mulberry silk to create Metalico. The natural shades of alpaca are undyed, and the silk gives a sheen reminiscent of precious metal. So let’s celebrate with Blue Sky Fibers and knit the Celebration Poncho in Silver!
