How to Weave Air

How to Weave Air...it's easy!

Step 1:
Purchase some  Bluebonnet Hills Alpaca Lace at  WC Mercantile.

Step 2:
Fondle your newly purchased Bluebonnet Hills Alpaca Lace. Feel it squish in your hands. Hold it softly against your cheek. Snuggle against it.

Step 3:
Warp your loom in the squishy soft goodness of your Bluebonnet Hills Alpaca Lace. I used a 12-dent on my Cricket loom. I had 96 ends for an 8-inch-wide scarf of lusciousness. I used two colors of ultra soft goodness to make a 4x4 plaid.  (It was supposed to be a houndstooth but I goofed. I forgot 1 = 2 and 2 = 4 ends. Silly me!)

Step 4:
Start weaving. Remember you're weaving with uber scrumptiousness that must be handled delicately. Never beat your alpaca. Be nice and kind and it will be nice and kind in return. Tapping might even be too physical. Gently suggest to your alpaca weft to get close to the previous weft. Try to maintain 12 alpacas per inch.

Step 5:
Once your alpaca has reached his maturity, release him from his confines of your loom so he can run free. Maybe decorate his fringe with sparkly Delica beads.

Step 6:
Before totally setting your alpaca free, he needs a good bath to be presentable. I used Soak. Let your alpaca dry.

Now your alpaca is free to let the wind blow through it. It will come alive. It's so light to the touch you won't believe you're holding your alpaca. It feels like air.

Beautiful, squishy soft, delicate scrumptiousness to hold against your cheek.

You won't believe you're petting air.
