Last week I showed you what a lot of money will buy in terms of angora yarn. Happy knitting! Sincerely, P.S.-Do you have friends who would enjoy Knitter's Review? If so, use our simple Tell a Friend form and let them know about us.
Sticker Shock
If you despaired at the $15.95-per-skein pricetag for Adrienne Vittadini Angelina, there are other options. You may lose some quality and get a lower angora fiber content, but the end result will be attractive.
This week I show you a lower-priced angora blend alternative from Tahki. Despite the fact that it is 70% merino, there's no escaping the angora in this yarn.
From America's Heartland
I also review a new book from Vogue Knitting that profiles 10 of America's top knitwear designers and reprints several of their most memorable Vogue Knitting patterns.

angora fibers in this yarn blow every which way.
