I love this yarn! I knit a striped hooded cardigan and it was hard to decide if I was going to wear it or frame it and hang it on the wall!!! Perfectly said that it behaves more like wool when knitting! As for pilling, if something is lovely soft, that can be a tradeoff that you need only prepare for! Colors are true to the core and throughout the skein and the dye lots. Cannot say enough positive about this yarn!

Disappointed
I made a sweater with this yarn, while it was beautiful to work with, it pilled so badly with a couple of washings. Very disapointed

Comments about Blue Sky Alpacas Dyed Cotton:
I used this yarn to knit a baby sweater. It is beautiful and soft and it knits up very quickly. Didn't realize until AFTER I bought it for this purpose that you can't machine wash it. I can't imagine not machine washing baby clothes. I knit it anyway. Maybe it will be a clean baby...

Comments about Blue Sky Alpacas Dyed Cotton:
I really like knitting with this yarn and generally hate knitting with cotton. This yarn has a little bit of stretch to it since it feels very light and bouncy, it's not wool, but it's not killing my hands either. Feels high quality, soft and the color is very nice.
