Alpaca Cloud

KnitPicks Alpaca Cloud falls into the appropriate weight class so you can certainly use it. The knitted fabric will have a different appearance though. It will not have the ethereal look that the mohair gives KSH. The price is right though, so as long as you know that the look will be a bit different, go for it!

THe 34" dress takes 3 + 1 balls of KSH. The 1 ball is for the inner hem frill which is knit in a different colour. The shorter version doesn't have this, so you can leave it out or knit it in the same colour - Knitters Choice.
