This is a fabulous yarn. I made a Neckie scarf free pattern from JimmyBeansYarn for a woman that can afford to buy anything. She was very happy with her gift. If you decide to make the Neckie, be sure to buy two skeins of this yarn, or better still buy three, then you can make two Neckies. I had to reorder for more of this fab yarn, because one skein was not sufficient. I followed my own advise and purchased two skeins on my re-order. Now, I can make another in the same beautiful Boysenberry color. Try it you'll love it.

 Gorgeous Boysenberry Neckie 2 of 10

Ginger & Fred, Romeo & Juliet have nothing on another great duo: The Neckie free pattern from Jimmy Beans Wool & Blue Sky Alpaca yarn. I chose a gorgeous Boysenberry color that is opulent. In my opinion, this beautiful yarn and pattern were created for other. I made this Neckie for a daughter, who can afford to buy anything. Her sisters have seen the completed Neckie and immediately swooned. I can't say enough about this wonderfully soft and fabulous yarn that is dream to knit. It's a bulky yarn, so it knits fast. Try it, you'll love as much as I do.

I truly love this yarn. It is soft, easy to work with, knit's up very quickly and is always an eye catcher. I have used many of these colors and love most of them. I ordered the angora and it is not my favorite color, but I know I can come up with something to use it for....after all I just love this yarn! It is a staple in my stash.

 Super Great Yarn with some exceptions. 4 of 10

I loved this yarn. The color was so pretty on the computer screen, that when I actually received the yarn I loved it so much more. I have only 2 negative things to say about it. First off it was very hairy, I found myself using a lint brush after each time I knitted with it. This particular color also bled quite a bit onto my fingers. I have knit with another Blue Sky Alpaca Bulky yarn color that did not bleed, so my guess is because the color is so saturated, it came off on my fingers. But otherwise I absolutely loved this yarn and would use it for another project.

This yarn is a pleasure to work with.  It is sensually soft to the touch, and the colors I chose (fawn, polar bear and light blue) are truly gorgeous.  I began to crochet a handbag and can't wait to finish it and use it with pride. This yarn is truly addictive.

This yarn is excellent for braiding into hair for "raggedy-ann" type hairstyles. It's chunky, holds together well, and the black color is a nice true black- one of the few bulky yarns that comes in a solid true black! I use this yarn in my professional hair extension work and highly recommend it.

 Best scarf yarn EVER 9 of 10

A few years ago I made myself a simple ribbed scarf out of two of these colors... compliments followed wherever I went.  A scarf for my mom as well as for my boyfriend's mom followed... 3 skeins makes a nice long one.

Be sure to check gauge on this yarn before making anything fitted, however!  It knit up bigger and had a lot more give than I expected.

 Swooned with delight 10 of 10

 Rating: 5 out of 5 (5 out of 5)

After knitting a pullover in Blue Sky Alpaca Bulky in Peace Pink for myself , I gave some of the yarn to a friend as a gift.  She nearly swooned with delight when she got her hands on it.  The yarn is so soft and the weight is wonderful.  We both agreed that is knits up quickly and is very easy to work with.
