Lovely yarn

Used the Alpaca Silk to create a dedicated Drops pattern. Knitted up very well. Blocking filled it out a little. Sweater has been worn and washed many times and still looks good. Extremely light but warm. A little pilling as expected but nothing serious. Very good price for budget conscious knitters.

Great alternative to mohair silk

This yarn is a nice alternative to the abundant mohair silk blends on the market. If you’re looking for something less irritating than mohair, try this! It also has a pretty sheen thanks to the silk content —- more so than some other alpaca silk and mohair silk yarns such as Lana Grossa’s Seta Suri. I’m now buying a sweater quantity of this yarn— would recommend!

The most popular yarn for baby photo props.
