recently finished an alpaca-mohair sweater for my grandson...a beautiful heathered green alpaca combined with a fine strand of multi-dyed mohair. He loves it...because it's very soft.
...same green I used for some kilt socks last year...

That looks like an Adrienne Vitadini yarn I used call Sara...very soft and very warm.

I'm so glad he likes it because it looks quite fine on him. I love that you used a deep smoky color instead of going with some pastels.
