Review on Plymouth Alpaca Grande Knitting Black by Carol Miller

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Use US 8 Needles - Yarn

Not Impressed. I used to knit from 100% alpaca. I ordered this thread because it was said to be suitable for US 10.5 needles. No exit! I'm considered a tight knitter (my stitches are very tight) but with this yarn and #10 needles even my stitches look loose and messy. Also, the yarn unwinds, so it's like knitting with two strands of yarn. Not to mention the black color came off my hands while knitting, which has never happened to me with high quality yarns. Alpaca should be thick and heavy. For the price and content I expected better quality.

Pros
  • Needle Size: US 10 1/2
Cons
  • Some Small Things
