      Comments about Blue Sky Alpacas Bulky Alpaca:

      This yarn is a major shedder! I knit a scarf in the mink color, intending to gift it, but I'm not sure I can give it away in good conscience knowing it will shed all over. I knit part of the scarf on a plane, and the stranger sitting next to me was left covered in fibers! I was mortified. This is a lovely soft yarn otherwise, but to me, the extreme shedding makes it so I would not buy it again.

      Comments about Blue Sky Alpacas Bulky Alpaca:

      Overall this was a lovely yarn to work with. There were a few things that bothered me though. It sheds like an animal, I think I've had less hair on me while petting my kitty. In addition, while in the middle of knitting, it lost its twist and suddenly tore, three times. I'm not a tight knitter, so I wasn't sure why it tore. Also while it's soft, some folks with sensitive skin may find it to be a tad scratchy on the first few wears. Afterwards, it softens beautifully. This yarn makes lovely scarves and cowls. I find that, for me, it is a "go-to" yarn for cowls especially.

        my daughter (who is a very novice knitter --11y.o.) wanted to make her father a scarf. this was the perfect yarn. it is soft and easy to work with and works up quickly. so far the yarn has held up well with just a small amount of shedding.

        soft, think but I concur about the shedding

        I'm in the mdst of making a giant wrap. I now have a 'special knitting outfit' until I finish this project because this yarn sheds so much. it's a shame because the color is gorgeous and it feels as soft as a baby's cheek.

        This yarn is super soft, but it shed EVERYWHERE while I was knitting. I'm not likely to use it again...

        This yarn is very soft. It is a loose single ply yarn. It does shed a bit while knitting and I had some trouble getting to keep its twist while knitting.
