Love this yarn. Used it to make a quarter-zip sweater for myself, with lace-wt mohair/silk. It's a gorgeous alpaca/merino/silk blend with a beautiful sheen. I wish it came in 100g put-up instead of 50g, because 95 yds is really not much length when you're knitting a sweater! Am using it again now to make a baby blanket.
Lovely yarn, quite luxurious. I have knitted a cardigan in each of the colours available and have been asked several times if I will make one for other people. It is easy to use, does not ‘pill’, and is a delight to wear - not itchy or scratchy. Many more colours please!
I so enjoy working with this yarn! Alpaca and Merino feel so cushy. The color, purple, is royal and consitent. It works perfectly with the crochet needle.
Beautiful yarn. The color was as shown on the website. Very soft and does not cause my skin to itch-so perfect for the cloche I knitted.
I love this yarn. So soft and cuddly and great stitch definition.
Love this yarn have bought many small Hanks of it. It has a very soft hand that I love.
Beautiful luxurious yarn to work with. I couldn't wait to order more
It is very soft. I'm using it for a scarf or muffler for my son. Not completed yet. I like it!
Extremely soft and luxurious. I wove a scarf with it and it is top quality. Too expensive to weave for sales except for high end market but perfect if that is the target. Made mine for son in law. Beautiful.
The yarn is soft and knits well, so it's comfortable for the project I am making with it.
