Description of ๐Ÿงถ Blend Alpaca Yarn Wool Set of 3 Skeins DK Weight - Heavenly Soft Green Yarn Ideal for Knitting and Crocheting

50% alpaca wool, 5% wool, 45% acrylic. Imported. QUALITY ALPACA BLEND: Incredibly soft, our Alpaca Yarn Blend is warm, comfortable and affordable. This quality alpaca blended yarn is hypoallergenic and can be used in a variety of projects like sweaters, scarves, hats and more. NATURAL THERMAL PROPERTIES: In addition to its natural warmth, this alpaca yarn blend contains moisture-wicking fibers that provide unparalleled temperature regulation. The alpaca fibers transport moisture away from the source to the outside of the garment where it is able to evaporate. The wicking properties, combined with the low moisture absorbency of the fibers, result in better comfort and warmth when wearing garments made with authentic alpaca. SPECIFICATIONS: Weight Category: DK. Knitting Needle recommended: US 5-7 (3.75-4.5 mm). Approximately 109 yards/100 meters per skein (327 yards/300 meters total). 1.76 ounces/50 grams per skein. The fiber composition of the yarn is 50% alpaca, 5% wool and 45% acrylic. CAREFULLY PRODUCED AND READY TO USE: All of our yarn is produced in Peru by skilled manufacturers to ensure you get a high quality and affordable product direct from the source. Garments produced with our alpaca blended yarn need to be hand washed with cold water and mild detergent. Avoid wringing and twisting, and gently press to remove water. Do not hang to prevent stretching and instead lay flat to dry. SATISFACTION GUARANTEED: If for any reason you are not satisfied with your purchase, Alpaca Warehouse offers a 30-day money-back guarantee. Purchase with confidence!

DC as a heavy string!

I was so happy to use alpaca yarn but I am sending it back. I'm usually fine with the yarn I use, even Caron-Split, but this yarn isn't twisted well enough to use and is lighter than regular DK. It's like a heavy cord. I am disappointed to say the least.

Pros
  • CAREFULLY MADE AND READY TO USE: All of our yarns are made in Peru by expert makers to ensure you're getting a high-quality, affordable product straight from the source. Garments made from our alpaca blends must be hand washed in cold water with a mild detergent. Avoid squeezing and twisting, and gently squeeze to remove water. Do not hang to prevent stretching, lay flat to dry.
Cons
  • Torn

Smell of vomit on yarn

I had high hopes for this yarn, it was soft and easy to knit with, I even knitted very nice socks out of it. The problem occurred when I put my socks on and after I took them off they smelled like vomit. I tried airing them out and they still smelled. Then I washed them according to the manufacturer's instructions and they still smelled. I am very disappointed that I have this product.

Pros
  • SPECIFICATIONS: Weight class: DK. Recommended needles: US 5-7 (3.75-4.5mm). Approximately 109 yards/100 meters per ball (327 yards/300 meters total). 1.76 oz/50 grams per skein. The fiber composition of the yarn is 50% alpaca, 5% wool and 45% acrylic.
Cons
  • Something different

Fine yarn but too thin

This yarn is very soft and the color (steel blue) is beautiful! I'm a beginner and haven't delved that deep into the details of thin and thick yarn. I'm knitting a simple sweater for my girlfriend in 5mm crochet, and when I started knitting several rows of double crochet, there were large "holes" in the stitches that I'd like to make neat and small. Overall this is a great yarn but in my opinion it is thinner than regular dk yarn. :)

Pros
  • Imported
Cons
  • Slightly torn
