Reviews
This yarn feels wonderful! At first, I was intimidated because it looks life a fingering weight, but it works up much the same as a sport or aran weight yarn. It's not shedding at all, either. BEGINNER CROCHETERS BE WARNED: this is probably a yarn best used for more experienced crocheters. The reason I mention it is because if you make a mistake with this yarn, it is very difficult to frog it. For this same reason, it may be wise to order one more ball than you think you'll need so you can make gauge swatches, etc.
Super soft, I plan on buying more!
Literally made an amazing sweater out of the light grey, obsessed is an understatement. Mohair is in but this alpaca brushed is the way to go! 10 stars!
Very soft beautiful yarn. Well worth the price.
