This yarn is dreamy soft and I love the color selection. I bought three colors to mix to make a sweater. I can't wait to wear it this winter!

Comments about Berroco Ultra Alpaca Light:
I used this in a Nora Gaughan pattern in her collection #1. It was perfect! So good that 3 more knitting buddies are making the same pattern for themselves and loved ones.
The color selection is awesome - hard to go wrong with your choices. It's easy to find gauge; soft and easy on the hands; drapes beautifully without clinging; and is light and warm.
The only downside is the initial delay with the color I requested. This was easily solved with the wonderful customer service at WEBS and I picked another shade while waiting for the first order. Can't wait to make another project with this yarn.

Comments about Berroco Ultra Alpaca Light:
This is a wonderful yarn to work with. The texture of the yarn is very forgiving in patterning if your stitches aren't to even. Having knitted for some 40 years I've moved to perfecting my crochet skills & have worked this yarn into several chemo caps for a friend plus a pork pie style winter hat I designed for myself all with great success. Thanks WEBS for offering this wonderful product!

Comments about Berroco Ultra Alpaca Light:
I love the ultra alpaca light, the ultra alpaca fine and the ultra alpaca worsted. It has become my go-to yarn for just about everything. It has a great hand, beautiful stitch definition,good yardage and a lovely price point. I hope Berroco never stops making it and I would love additional color.s

Comments about Berroco Ultra Alpaca Light:
I used this yarn to knit a stranded colorwork hat for a gift, and I found that the yarn worked so well with itself, and the colors go together well. When it arrived, I thought it might be a little itchy, but once I started knitting with it, my worries went away. The alpaca fiber makes this a very warm yarn, perfect for making warm winter accessories. I really like the weight of this yarn, and I plan on using this yarn sometime in the future.

Very warm and fuzzy but not too itchy. The colours are wonderful too. Handwash carefully in cool water to reduce pilling.
