Comments about Berroco Ultra Alpaca:
I love ultra alpaca. It's got a nice finish, a "bit" of a halo from the alpaca, and is my go-to yarn for functionality. I am just finishing a tunic sweater that I can't wait to wear.

Comments about Berroco Ultra Alpaca:
this is a very light worsted, close to DK weight. I had to keep increasing needle size to get the gauge, unusual for me. I do love the softness of it.

Comments about Berroco Ultra Alpaca:
This yarn is soft and even though it says hand wash, I did gentle cycle it in the machine with cold water. It came out beautiful!! I couldn't have been happier. My son was delighted with the sweater I made for him with it.

Comments about Berroco Ultra Alpaca:
This was my first foray into using a wool/alpaca blend and I can certainly see what all the buzz is about. Berocco has provided a relatively inexpensive bit of luxury without sacrificing practicality. The yarn doesn't knit up as smoothly as pure wool does, but it does provide a nice halo, and a softer result for a comparable price. My only real complaint is that it does have a consistent tendency to shed.
