YOU & ME BOX | ALPACA + COTTON LUREX

Some yarns are simply made for each other — and Alpaca, Cotton and Lurex are a trio that makes perfect sense. Together, they create a fabric that is impossibly soft, beautifully luminous, and full of texture. The halo of Alpaca wraps around the delicate shimmer of Lurex, giving your knits a dreamy, ethereal quality that catches the light with every stitch.

Why this box?
The YOU & ME BOX takes the guesswork out of pairing yarns. Both cones are curated to work in harmony — in colour, in weight, and in character. You get 1 cone of 2000 metres of Alpaca and 1 cone of 2000 metres of Cotton with Lurex each, giving you a generous, balanced combination to complete a full garment without compromise. No hunting for compatible yarns, no colour-matching anxiety — just beautiful threads ready to become something extraordinary.

What can you make?
With this combination held together, you have enough for:
— A lightweight sweater or top in sizes S–XL
— A shawl, wrap, or stole in any size
— A cardigan or open-front jacket in smaller sizes
— A scarf, cowl, or snood with yarn to spare
— Sleeves, yoke, or accent details as part of a larger project

Tips for knitting with this combination
— Hold all three strands together throughout for a consistent, balanced fabric with beautiful drape and a soft halo.
— Needle size matters: use 3–4 mm needles for a denser, warmer fabric; go up to 5–7 mm for an open, airy, and drapey result ideal for layering pieces.
— Swatch generously before starting — the mohair halo can make it tricky to frog, so it is worth taking the time to get your gauge right from the start.
— Simple stitches shine here. Stockinette, garter, and basic lace all allow the texture and sheen of the yarns to take centre stage.
— Hand wash gently in cool water and lay flat to dry to preserve the halo of the silk.

Whether you are knitting your first luxury garment or adding another heirloom piece to your wardrobe, the YOU & ME BOX is a considered, curated starting point — everything you need, nothing you don’t.
