Comments about Classic Elite Yarns Silky Alpaca Lace Hand Paint:
This yarn comes in a variety of beautiful colors. I have used it to make scarves and, after blocking, they have turned out beautifully.
I have a pattern for a stole in the Silky Alpaca Lace and can't wait to start it.

Comments about Classic Elite Yarns Silky Alpaca Lace Hand Paint:
Hard to argue with "perfect" ... This yarn has it, knits up beautifully, doesn't itch, looks fantastic.... I made shawls with it... Only 460 yards to a skein so buy enough, tho I reordered it and the match was seamless...

Drapes very well. Feels wonderful. The variegated color is beautiful maroon to rust-like.
Friends love the color and think the shawl is beautiful even before finished.

Comments about Classic Elite Yarns Silky Alpaca Lace Hand Paint:
I am using this yarn to make a flame stitch lace scarf on size 6 needles as the pattern calls for. Maybe it's only because I have little experience with yarn this fine that it has been a bit difficult for me. But I shall persevere as the yarn shows the pattern beautifully and the colors are stunning. If you are already a lace master, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it highly. For fairly new to lace, it's gong to take some effort but it's worth it.

Comments about Classic Elite Yarns Silky Alpaca Lace Hand Paint:
The colors are a little dull. It isn't that they're "bad" colors, they're just... um... subdued. Makes nice lace items for someone who doesn't like bright colors. Works up easily. Added beads to the green/brown color for a thin lace scarf and it looked fabulous.
