Comments about Valley Yarns 2/14 Alpaca Silk Hand Dyed by the Kangaroo Dyer:
I used Atlantis to knit a Rosalind shawl, which has a lovely celtic cable running down the center. This yarn was a perfect blend of texture to bring out the best in the cabling & lace. While not super-soft, the yarn has a nice hand and should stand up to normal wear & tear very well. I don't like fussy knits - if you can't wear it, why have it - and I'm confident that my Rosalind will look fabulous for a very long time. I would def recommend this yarn to anyone knitting lace or lace weight cables.[...]
- Was this a gift?:

Comments about Valley Yarns 2/14 Alpaca Silk Hand Dyed by the Kangaroo Dyer:
I give this yarn five stars because it truly is beautifully dyed. The colors I have ordered have not exactly matched the product picture in some cases. Seaglass was VERY purple / navy, and Bluemist had a lot of green. Tapestry, Rainforest, and Storm Cloud are well represented. The only one i was not completely happy with was Lichen as it had almost NO variation.
