Comments about Blue Sky Alpacas Suri Merino:
4-1/2 stars! I love the yarns from Blue Sky Alpacas and this was no exception. The colors are lovely and the texture of the yarn is wonderful. I loved handling and knitting with it. The only reason I docked it a half star is that in stranded colorwork the working yarn tends to entangle itself and try to weld with the other strands (I'm using 3 colors at the moment). On the other hand, that means that the ends will weave in easily and stay put.

Comments about Blue Sky Alpacas Suri Merino:
This yarn is absolutely wonderful. It is very soft - like butter, has great drape, very easy to knit with and can withstand being ripped back and knitted again. Holds up very well. I just noticed the price change - $3.00 per skein more than when I bought mine. I would still buy this yarn -even with the price increase. Love this Yarn!
Comments about Blue Sky Alpacas Suri Merino:
This could likely win as my favorite yarn of all time. No variegation, nothing flashy about it but it feels like you're knitting with butter. Even a big project is exquisite to knit with this yarn and never gets boring because it just feels so good in your hands to knit with. I will say though, it does form pills more than I thought it would, but that still didn't dismay me. Knit it into casual comfy sweaters and you won't be disappointed!
