Customer Reviews
I loved working with this yarn and it felt beautiful in the skein, but it snagged horribly when frogging and my final cardigan is unfortunately too itchy for me to wear. Looking into ways of softening the fabric. I may just be sensitive to alpaca, but something to keep in mind when purchasing.
HI Ashleigh - we're sorry you had trouble ripping back with this yarn! It's a beautiful FO and we hope that it softens up so you can wear it comfortably.
Touch of Luxe is generous wording for this line of yarn. As for touch of alpaca in this yarn feels like an average acrylic yarn.
Equally disappointing are the splices. So far I had one in my first skein and two in my second. See picture for result with splice. This was not advertised as seconds, quality is not firsts.
See pic for example of splice
Hello Lauren - our apologies for any knots you've encountered in your yarn. We do allow for up to 3 or 4 knots in a single skein, depending on the yardage, as the mill may need to tie on new yarn in order to wind a full ball. We suggest cutting out the knot and treating the two ends as new strands of yarn, leaving enough length to weave in later.
LB Alpaca was nice to work with. The yarn yields a nice soft squishy touch to the cape I crochet. I used about 4 skeins for the cape and made fingerless gloves with the leftover yarn
I am crocheting a beanie with Touch of Alpaca in the gorgeous Purple Aster color, and I'm loving it. I'm using a slighter tighter gauge than the label recommends -- mine is 16 sts = 4 in., and it's resulting in a thick and luxurious fabric. This is one warm and cozy hat!
i like the colors it comes in and the nice softness it has. it blends well with the regular wool ease too and i got my order pretty fast even tho the email updates said that it hadn't shipped
