Blue Sky Fibers Lake Melissa Sweater is a women’s pullover
knit in Metalico or Alpaca Silk. This magnificent sweater is perfect for
pulling on over a pair of jeans or a pleated skirt. Lake Melissa Sweater is
knit flat in pieces from the bottom up and then seamed. The ribbed neckline is
then picked up around the neck edging and knit in the round. 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. Blue Sky Fibers Alpaca Silk has a polished
luster, a great hand, and an elegant drape wrapped up in a blend of
nature’s most inspiring fibers—50% alpaca and 50% silk. The colors are
spectacular and inspiring. So choose your fiber and get started!
