My favorite

I have knitted with many kinds of fiber and I have to say this is my favorite. It feels good to work with it, it has a nice drape, beautiful color tones, you can use it for many different garments, it's easy to care for it and you get a good value for the cost. The sample in the picture I took it's not blocked yet.

What an amazing yarn for garments!!!

I knitted 2 short sleeve Ts with 5 skanes. I started the first one as a test / practice project because I'm a relatively new knitter, but it turned out to be the best one I've made and didn't take as much yarn as I first thought. So, I ended up knitting another one for my niece., and ordered more to knit a long sleeve sweater!

So soft

Feels Like Alpaca is so soft. I purchase multiple colors and all were exactly what was presented on the LB website. I look forward to make the Fair Isle sweater.

Great yarn!

This yarn made a beautiful sweater. The drape is perfect and the yarn was great to knit with! I would definitely buy again.

Good First Experience

I decided to branch out beyond the easier common wool/acrylic blends I've used for crochet so far. This is definitely trickier to work with, but had been a pleasant experience. I still often mess up and pull out a row or two to redo and that has been the hardest part of working with this yarn. But when I don't mess up it is easy to work, and feels great!
