Comments about Blue Sky Alpacas Alpaca Silk:
I have made several jumpers/cardigans with this yarn and just love it.
It just flows over your fingers, doesn't catch even if you have forgotten to put hand cream on in the morning, drapes beautifully, colour is even and looks great on. It is very easy and warm to wear.
Have given some to a friend who spins and she too loves it.

Comments about Blue Sky Alpacas Alpaca Silk:
Fabulous yarn to knit or crochet with. It takes a little extra concentration to keep it from splitting but well worth the effort. I love this yarn & highly recommend. Beautiful stitch definition & wonderful drape. Colors very consistent across dye lots which makes not having enough yarn the first time not so painful as you can order more to finish that project.

Comments about Blue Sky Alpacas Alpaca Silk:
This is very nice yarn. Be aware that the dye rubs off on your hands and nails. I will have to wash the scarf I'm knitting before giving it away. I'm using it on a scarf/shawl pattern called 'Courting Sophia' by Kat Coyle.

Comments about Blue Sky Alpacas Alpaca Silk:
This is the prettiest, softest yarn ever. I got the silver and it is exactly what I had hoped. I'm very happy with the appearance of stockinette stitch on a size 4. I'm on my second skein and no knots or problems (as expected with Blue Sky Alpaca).The sheen of the yarn is perfect. Shiny is not a good thing IMHO. This is lustrous.
