I used Blue Sky Alpacas Sport weight alpaca for both the trim and glove body. The trim on both is color "natural dark brown," my gloves are color "red" and my sister's are "eggplant." The glove pattern was originally written for a luxurious cashmere yarn, which was out of my price range. I found the sport weight alpaca to be a decent substitute - it was maybe a little less lofty than would be ideal, but the gauge worked fine and the gloves turned out great.
