The trick is to find something that is not only the same weight, but also has a similar drape. I would suggest looking for a yarn that is in the same weight category and also has a high percentage of alpaca. You might want a bit of wool for elasticity, but I would think a pure alpaca or an alpaca/silk blend would drape very well.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>http://www.knittingdaily.com/forums/thread/31880.aspxThu, 06 Aug 2009 12:03:47 GMT44ce05d4-61e0-4251-b9ba-686eafad3c9f:31880Jennifer@50http://www.knittingdaily.com/forums/thread/31880.aspxhttp://www.knittingdaily.com/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=24&PostID=31880<p>For some reason, love the hat in the latest knits but the yarn Road to China Light is like $19.00+ a skein at 6 or so skeins...well that becomes a $100 plus hat...of course the yarn is VERY nice (alpaca, cashmere, camel, and silk) but does anyone have a less expensive option to offer?</p> <p>Thanks,</p> <p>Jennifer</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
