By Valley Yarns
Becket is a customer favorite in the Valley Yarns line and its scrumptious blend of super fine alpaca and wool has us all ready to put it to work. Gently heathered colors give your sweaters and shawls a rich feel, while the alpaca creates next-to-skin softness you'll love. Becket is a heavy worsted weight which means it will work up into extra warm hats and shawls.

It's very soft, and I think my sweater will be very comfortable, warm, and not too itchy. It's been quick and easy to knit with and has good stitch definition. The gauge advertised of 16 stitches to 4 inches using #9 needles was accurate for me. Am working on the sleeves right now so no photo yet.
Great product, great discounted price. Excellent value for a quality product. It is easy to order and has fast and secure delivery. I use it for a sweater, and it has great integrity to the yarn, as I have knit and unknit to get the right size. It is so soft and warm. I usually prefer a chunky weight, but I love this worsted. 😁
Purchased to make a throw. This is my favorite yarn so far, and I’ve been knitting over 20 years. Most alpaca/wool blends have a disagreeable odor. This is a lovely yarn, soft, smooth and consistent with no odor! I want to make everything from this!
Love the slightly heathered color, soft, blooms beautifully with a great drape. Made a Honey Vodka Lemonade for myself in Lilac Blossom which my daughter liked enough that I'm doing it again for her in Cornflower partly because I wanted the Cornflower, but couldn't justify ANOTHER light blue pullover for myself.
I love, love, love, Becket yarn. It is easy to work with and super soft. It is a thick worsted weight almost Aran weight, so it knits up quickly. For my last project, I didn’t order enough and had to order more yarn from a different dye lot. To my amazement the yarns were virtually the same. I would absolutely order this yarn again from Webs. Webs is my go to place for most of my yarn purchases. They have great prices for quality yarn. I have never been disappointed.
Great stitch definition. Beautiful colors. Feels wonderful in your hands. A pleasure to knit with.
lovely feel, well spun, it has lovely stitch definition and makes a thick warm garment.
This yarn is scrumptious. I always see this adjective in reviews and I never knew what it meant. Now I know. This is an amazing yarn. I am crocheting emotional support chickens with it, and I wish I had bought enough for a bigger project. Maybe after I finish this project. Anyway, the colors I chose are beautiful, the feeling is delightful. Great yarn all around.
Love Becket! I now have it in 3 colors for 3 current projects. It is soft & does not itch at all, & the colors are deeply saturated.
Soft and easy to knit with. Magical transformation after blocking. It sheds a little bit.
