This is a favourite. The warp is a blend of 70% alpaca, 27% cotton and 3% copper. Yes copper. But it is beautifully soft and silky. The weft is a novelty yarn, mostly cotton but with some other fibres which add the colour. I wove it using a bead leno technique, which leaves it open and lacy. It drapes beautifully.
