Overall Blue Sky Bulky Rating: 4.6 out of 5 stars (4.6 based on 39 reviews)

Wouldn't use it again 1 out of 5 stars (1 out of 5)
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.

Bulky white yarn 3 out of 5 stars (3 out of 5)
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.

Soft blanket 4 out of 5 stars (4 out of 5)
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.

Super Soft and Cuddly 5 out of 5 stars (5 out of 5)
Made the super-sized owl on the Purlsoho site. So cuddly and huggable. Easy to work with.
