I'm using it for a bulky wool to make a bunny that I was going to felt. Yes, it came through beautifully.

Perfect match for my projects
I bought this yarn to add to some I had in my stash, and the color and quality were a perfect match. I've knit toys and blankets with this bulky yarn, and they come out soft with beautiful stitch definition. I haven't tried felting yet. I may get adventurous when I try knitting slippers someday. No pics available, sorry!
Great yarn for a good cause
I love a good sale. It knits fine and felts nicely as well. I donate what I knit to a local animal rescue group, so nice quality yarn on sale helps me and them. I paired it with a super chunky yarn and together they felt ok. I can't say as yet that it is as consistent with Burly Spun Lamb's Pride, which is extremely consistent, but for what I am making it is good enough.
Great color and easy to knit
I was in the process of making a sweater for the fall. I really like the color and the yarn is easy to knit. How the yarn is prepared.
Great for felting projects
It felted so easily. I'm using it for men's and women's hats and a felted lamb. I used it for one session in the washer. I only used it on my phone.

This is a great yarn to work with for a bulky knit project! The touch of alpaca gives it extra softness. The color is vibrant and satisfying. The final product will make a wonderful "hoodie" for my granddaughter! I'll definitely try "Valley Yarns" again ... in other weights and colors!!!
5 Stars
Smooth texture, color consistent throughout with a slight sheen, and has a silky appearance. Tremendous warmth and insulation with a soft drape and texture that makes you want to feel next to your skin..

I had ordered this yarn previously to make a big blanket which I finally finished a year later. I loved it so much, I ordered more to start another one since the first blanket has been such a hit in my family (especially my dog). Things to note: -The colors read a little darker in real life compared to the swatch pictures, so plan accordingly. -The yarn itself is quite fluffy, so if you’re someone who doesn’t like a lot of loose fuzziness in a project you might not like this particular yarn....
5 Stars
Nice to knit with and felted well in the washing machine though I had to do two washes. Bulky enough so that even single stranded, projects are quick.
Great for a Guernsey throw
I like the good stitch definition. I'm using it for a Guernsy throw.
