This yarn is beautiful, but it did not work in the project I bought it for. Even so, I kept it because I will use it in different project.

Blue Sky Fibers has blended their scrumptiously soft baby alpaca with lustrous mulberry silk to create Metalico. The natural shades of alpaca are undyed, and the silk gives a sheen reminiscent of precious metal. Knit on a larger needle, this gorgeous yarn will make lovely lacey projects with fabulous drape. On a smaller needle, Metalico acts like a sport weight and knits up into a more substantial fabric for light, warm sweaters and hats. A great choice for everyday luxury!

Beautiful, soft and shiny! A bit fuzzy and splits easy, but worth the hassle to have such softness.
