The Design

You can wear the Welted Infinity Loop long and elegant, or twisted double for twice the cozy. The purl welts add an engaging, sculptural effect and give you the opportunity to play with two different textures. Pick a fluffy yarn with a generous halo for the welts and a smooth, silky yarn for the strips of stockinette. What a great contrast!

For this version of the Welted Infinity Loop, we picked two beyond soft yarns from Blue Sky Fibers. For the purled welts, we selected Brushed Suri, a baby Suri alpaca, merino wool, and bamboo blend with a fluff factor that’s off the charts. We used drapey, lustrous Alpaca Silk for the smooth stockinette between welts. The result is simply glorious.
