Exquisitely soft and delicate. It’s so fine that it is perfect for those lace patterns that were created to “draw up through a wedding ring”.

I love all the yarn I have received! Quality skeins and great colors too! Fast delivery from Massachusetts to my home in Maine. Keep up the great work!
The alpaca is very soft. I washed the skein before knitting to see what would happen. It developed a little halo. It's quite thin and I swatched a few lace stitches and ended up liking it best on size #000. When I knit lace, I like the stockinette areas to look normal, not loose, and the holes to be distinct but not sloppy. This would make a lovely lace fabric.
Beauti lace yarn, not easy to wind however. It was very tangled and difficult to get on the swift. Once it was finally wound, it was a wonder to work with! Very silky and smooth and makes a lovely lace!
I used this with Malabrigo Rios, it made such a lovely shawl. So soft and luxurious. A lovely lace yarn with a beautiful feel once knit! Soft, easy to knit, lovely results!
Very soft and strong. Using it as a carryi along with a cotton/wool blend. This yarn plus a light fingering for a lightweight cardigan, the Anker’s cardigan.
Plymouth worsted superwash wool acrylic blend: Good stitch definition and easy to work with in the hand. I don’t yet have feedback from the recipient in how it holds up to washes.
Good product and well priced. Weaves and works well with other types of yarn. Look forward to more colour choices. Never disappointed with Valley Yarn.
Bought this yarn in several colors to make the silver lining hat. I needed to use lighter colored knitting needles for the cranberry yarn because it was so fine and dark it was difficult to initially see my stitches. I do love this yarn. It is lace weight and so soft, but while it has a delicate look it is a strong yarn.
I love it to add to unspun like Plotulopi, it makes it softer and a little more drapey.
