Blue Sky Fibers Blue Sky Bulky Yarn - 1214 Pluto Reviews

The yarn sheds like crazy had to wash my capris every day while I was using it. It also falls apart. The pattern called for doing a duplicate stitch and I had to use 4 lengths and keep twisting it to avoid shredding.

I was a bit disappointed that the yarn was more like pin roving than actual yarn. It was mostly unspun and somewhat slow to knit with. I have knit with other Blue Sky Alpacas yarn and liked it then.

My daughter is turning 17, and to my surprise she asked for a blanket like I made for my expectant niece. She wanted it soft and warm. I searched and decided on Alpaca. I love the feel and warmth. Draw backs are the size of the skein 45yds and that it sheds a bit. I had to buy more skeins and now the price of this blanket is huge. It will last forever so it is worth it, just like she is.

Used this to make purl soho's big snowy owl. Great yarn to work with. Ordered more to make the giant owl. Fast, instant gratification knitting!

Made the super-sized owl on the Purlsoho site. So cuddly and huggable. Easy to work with.
