Choosing Yarn for Breezy

I have been overwhelmed by the anticipation of Breezy Cardigans release!  I received many e-mails and ravelry messages inquiring when the pattern would be available ever since I posted a teaser about it last month.  A lot of you mentioned you had yarn all picked out. So what yarn are you using for your Breezy Cardigan?

Here's a few I would love to see:

Blue Sky Alpacas Techno

Yesterday Blue Sky Alpacas introduced their latest yarn, Techno.

Here's the description of the yarn from their 'Bluesletter':

Introducing our latest yarn: Techno. A modern take on 1970’s neon and natural. The line includes seven groovy pop colors, perfectly balanced with six granola lover neutrals. Modern technology makes Techno a feather weight genius. Baby alpaca is blown into a mesh tube of silk, there is literally no splitting, for really fast knitting. You just won’t believe it.

I've been working on a design in Techno, and it's true, this yarn is amazing!

Techno is so lightweight, at the same time knitting up at a gauge of 3.5 stitches and 5 rows per inch on a US 10.5 needle.  It feels so soft AND as a bonus it smells really good, like good fiber should!

Here are all the colors Techno will be available in:

Blue Sky Alpacas Techno (68% baby alpaca / 10% extra fine merino / 22% silk /120 yards / 109 meters / 50 gms)

Very exciting, Blue Sky!
