Niiiice Yarn!!

Yep this yarn is soft like alpaca but can’t beat the price, especially on sale!! Love the deep, rich, rust color - though not my first choice, much more satisfied! Haven’t worked with it yet - Lion Brand yarns are my ‘go to’ so not expecting any surprises!! Thank you Lion Brand for being there all these years!! Much appreciated!!

So soft!

I am allergic to animal fibers, but this is so soft! And somehow, it has the fine fibers like an actual animal hair. I am very impressed. It also has enough of a twist that it is easy to crochet with.
1 thing I do Not like, is that the skeins are not 1 long strand, but multiple shorter strands tied together. I don’t understand how a yarn company, which sells the ends and pieces, differently than they do full skeins, can’t actually make full skeins.
I have not washed it yet though.

Lovely but scratchy

Yarn color is beautiful, but I knitted a sweater from it and can't stand the yarn next to my skin. It's ok with a shirt underneath it.

Feels Like Alpaca

I've never used alpaca so I don't know if it feels like it or not BUT the color is NOT what is represented. It is supposed to be taupe but is more a grayish lavender. I can't use it for its intended purpose and not worth returning because of shipping costs.
