Comments about Cascade Yarns Pastaza:

While the llama adds a bit of sheen to the yarn (and that looks nice when knitted up), the feel of the knitted garment is so rough and itchy that it's almost unwearable. I would not use this yarn again for anything other than bags or coasters.

I love this yarn for the al dente texture of the fabric it makes. I'm making a sweater for my dbf and it has great lap feel. Our cat approves of the texture, and she has the most refined taste. After this I'm casting on Stefanie Japel's cozy vee neck from Fitted Knits, and then maybe a cat mat, so the whole family will be pampered.

I knit the Ariosa cardigan vest out of this and have worn it several times. It is wonderfully warm and I have experienced no shedding or itchiness with a long-sleeved top underneath. The red color is very rich and the llama adds a slight sheen.

I loved this yarn. Very soft and easy to work with. I didn't find it coarse or itchy either. The llama adds slipperiness and it knits fast.

Great yardage for the price. Soft but not as soft as Merino or Llama. Still it was easy on the hands. I didn't find it itchy. Since llama is a naturally heavier yarn that wool or alpaca I'd probably never use this for a sweater next to skin, but would use for a jacket or wear with a blouse. I bought this for Jerod Flood's Girosole. Absolutely love the results.

Extremely itchy, llama sheds all over the place.
