Melted Mirage
Experience the frothy brioche fabric using Qing Fibre Melted Suri alpaca yarn. Hold one strand of fluffy alpaca for the background color. Blend the foreground colors with the Westknits Marled Fade technique. Hold two strands together and replace one color at a time for a gradual melted color transition. Finish the shawl with a colorful tassellated border.
