Michelle has an Etsy shop called OakGroveAlpacas where she sells yummy Alpaca roving, home grown yarn & hand knit/woven items.
Below are pictures. The yarn striped in subtle stripes. I spun the yarn for the sleeves so that color repititions were shorter. One of the plies was the dark brown corriedale & the other alternated with different colors & blends. The result being stripes of different colors & textures.
Above: pre-drafted rovings made them easier to spin.
The color rovings with merino, silk on the left bobbin (lots of blue here) & the brown corriedale on the right.

A beautiful sweater and beautifully spun yarn as well, someday I plan to spin enough yarn to make a sweater, did you blend the fiber yourself?
That is so gorgeous. I am just about to learn to spin. I am still waiting on a mail ordered spindle. I hope that one day I will be able to make such beautiful yarn.
