"It's already knit!" is a common reaction when people see Cadena in the shop, and it's true, this yarn's large-scale chainette structure gives it an i-cord like appearance. But Cadena's most remarkable attribute is its extraordinary softness. Oh, and the fact that it doesn't shed at all--a rarity among alpaca-rich superbulky yarns.

Our kit--a quick, beginner-friendly project--uses all three of these gorgeous neutral shades of Cadena.
