Jimmy's Journey is a nice colorway for spring/summer socks to wear with jeans.  The sock-weight yarn is on the thin side, but one skein makes one adult sock with a bit to spare.  

I got the blue-green colorway of this yarn.  The color is truly gorgeous.  The blue is deep cobalt blue with just a hint of sea green.  Very oceanic.  On the downside, I'd planned to use it to knit a scarf for a guy, but the blue isn't dark enough.  I'd been expecting something closer to navy. 

This yarn extremely soft and nice to work with; however, it was much thinner than I expected.  It's a very lightweight alpaca--almost the weight of Encore DK. 

It split a couple of times when I first started knitting with it (on bamboo), but that could have been me.  After a couple of rows, I had no more splits.

All in all, this is a nice yarn and I'd happily buy it in the future.

I used this yarn to make a string market bag.  It's strong, flexible and has a lovely sheen.  My only beef, is that it split when I knitted it with metal needles and it was hard to pass slipped stitches when I knitted it with bamboo needles.
