Review Summary:

“The merino, yak and alpaca blend drew me in and that combined with the lovely, soft colors made me buy it. Well-spun and wonderfully consistent in the hand, it knits to a lovely, soft, light-feeling fabric with loft. I am using it to make the Emory Toque from the free pattern on the website. Designated a #4 worsted weight yarn, I am using a US number 8 needle (5 mm) and the results look just right. A beautiful yarn I will purchase again, and I look forward to re-purchasing the oatmeal color (which was sold out when I went to buy more) but all the colors are delightful. This yarn would be good for accessories like the hat I am making but also would make a beautiful sweater. Ample yardage makes the price well-worth it.”

OMG! What a beautiful knitting experience. I made my daughter a beret for Christmas-the blend of wool, alpaca and yak is the softest, silky warmth I've had the pleasure of working with outside of handspun. Wish you had more colors!
