Camel Hair knitting yarn - cardigan project

Camel Hair knitting yarn - cardigan project

The color of camel is in many neutral colors. We have golden tan only at our store Addi Needles arpat yarn store.
Camel Hair fibre has greater sensitivity to chemicals than does wool fibre. They aren't usually dyed. Golden tan is the classic color of Camel Hair coat.
The hair contains thermostatic properties which can protect and insulate the camel from the extreme cold conditions as well as keeping them cool in the desert. The same properties and characteristics are transferred when making fabrics woven from Camel Hair.

Camel Hair knitting yarn is similar to that of wool having similar diameter but is less than that of mohair, Fabric made of camel hair has excellent insulating properites and is warn and comforable.

This is my knitting project by Camel Hair, it's very light weight. After calculate I will used 6 skeins for this cardigan. Used Addi Circular Needle US#6/ 4mm for the edge and Addi US #7/4.5mm for the body.

This is one of my favorite design saw at Ravelry. this pattern called "#70 Lush and Lacy Cardigan by SweaterBabe ".

This pattern is simple and the shape is trendy.
Actually, I haven't bought or download any pattern sheet.
(I usually read Japanese Pattern Book )
I just started by my mind after saw on Ravelry.
It's already finish, I love the trendy cutting at the back and also 3D shape small pocket.Medium length of sleeve with lovely cutting
