Pink Velvet Sweater by Andrea Mowry prioritizes the luxurious softness suri alpaca and merino yarn. Worked from the top down seamlessly, you can try Pink Velvet on as you go and adjust lengths to suit your personal style! (Just make sure if you are adding length, to purchase extra yarn to accommodate for the extra yardage needed.) We recommend combining Dyed by Delz BFL Sock & Suri.
