Question:

I want to knit a blanket with alpaca yarn but.?

Should I use 50% alpaca 50% wool or 100% alpaca?If there are pros and cons for both, please let me know!Thanks!

Answer:

Go to the storebuy a couple boxes of Just for Men beard,mustache and side burn colorThey have hair color too but the one for beard and mustache and sideburns lasts much longer! anyways follow directions, it only takes 5 minutes!Coarse hair takes color much easier than thin hairIf your hair is dark I would suggest not going any lighter than light brown to do so looks totally un-natural and you would probably be laughed at! In my honest opinion lighten your hair 1 or 2 shades and then around the temple area lighten it 1 shade lighter or darker than the shade you go with for your hairJust kind of brush it through a little and leave for only 2 minutes.
Going from a very dark to very light is trickyYou very well may end up paying for a color specialist to correct what you mess upIf you process it the wrong amount of time, it will be orangePossibly go to a beauty supply store, and ask their adviceTry to find a clerk with hair similar to yours.
Buy any coloring product with 'permanent' on the boxleave the color on for at least 25 minutes but probably for the full 45 minutes in your case because of the big shade changefollow the instructions in the box, it's really pretty easy and most are under $5.00 an application now.
JMO- a 45 y.omale with highlights look too feminine/fun middle age gals like guys the way they are without the metrosexual stuff
It's a matter of personal preferenceI prefer alpaca as wool makes me itchAlpaca fibres are softer and are not scratchyFor me alpaca is worth the extra expense.
