Beautiful yarn, but not for my project. 4 out of 5 stars (4 out of 5)
I ordered this as an alternative to Lorna's Laces Honor for a vest project. It turned out to be too fine I needed something bulkier to get the right look and achieve the gauge. However, it's gorgeous. Maybe I'll try it for something else.

While knitting with this yarn, I thought it was going to be a little too heavy looking, but after it was blocked, it was just right. Shawlette is nice and soft, not at all itchy on neck. Occasionally split while knitting.

fab yarn 5 out of 5 stars (5 out of 5)
this is a lovely yarn to knit with, has a nice drape, but enough stability that it holds shape. I have knit 4 berets with this and I highly recommend this yarn.

Silky Soft 4 out of 5 stars (4 out of 5)
This yarn is very nice. It is soft and has a nice sheen. The only thing I don't like about the yarn is that it doesn't stretch and bounce back like wool.

Wonders Of Alpaca & Silk! 5 out of 5 stars (5 out of 5)
I just received my order and could not be more pleased nor amazed. I never thought there could be something softer than cashmere but this is. The beautiful colors are fantastic as well. This will make a very delicate and soft sweater to have next to your skin. Any infant couldn't be pampered more lavishly than this!
