In finished the hap in only a week. As you may see the colors have a strong resemblance to an Ara Macao.

I already knew that merino tends to stretch, the more so if it’s combined with silk.
The length before machine washing was 1,60m, after washing 2,00m.

As already remarked I again used leftovers and blended Alpaca wool with mohair/silk which makes the Alpaca more rich and easier to knit. Again I didn’t use kitchener stitch for grafing the last rows together and worked the tubular cast-on in a much easier way like in Jumbo tucks.
I also used German short-rowing instead of wraps and turns, much easier and faster for me as I’m used to this method.
