Comments about Berroco Ultra Alpaca Closeout Colors:
Wonderful yarn. Only complaint was the color, which was a bit drab - I ordered Forest Floor. I'll probably order a more vibrant color when it comes available for under $6.

Comments about Berroco Ultra Alpaca Closeout Colors:
I love working on this yarn. It has a wonderful hand. I haven't found knots, etc. have made lots of hats, scarves, and a beautiful warm throw for winter reading in a big chair. Am going to make a sweater for a friend next.

Comments about Berroco Ultra Alpaca Closeout Colors:
I am knitting my first Knitscene pattern with this glorious wool (knitscene Winter/Dec 2012 - sweater #20 - Minnette Pullover by Cassie Castillo). I am just finishing the bottom band of this knit-all-in-one-piece-masterpiece-sweater and I am beyond thrilled. The yarn is luxurious, the colour (fuchsia) is saturated and even. The yardage - at this price - is incredibly good and very inexpensive for the quality. The hanks wound easily into balls and joins are minimal. I cannot say enough great things about this yarn and will be knitting MANY more projects with it. Berroco quality makes them the top US yarn maker in my opinion.
