This two-ply is strong enough for socks yet  lofty enough for fine gauge outerwear projects such as vests or mittens. The wool blend is mostly from my border leicesters with a touch of fine wool. The alpaca adds a fuzzy halo to this yarn which softens with wear.

Shown here is the Back Bay Sock pattern from Lisa Lloyd's Thistle & Fox Sock Booklet.
