The threads are soft, true to color. I look forward to using them.
Beautiful drape, wonderful texture. My first time using lace weight and/or alpaca, so I'm finding it "grabs" itself, but is overall quite pleasant to work with and easy to adjust to. Holding up for my lacework shawl beautifully, and holds the beads well.
I am very happy about the shipping time as well as the accurate text messages and emails updating me on the status of my order. The yarn itself is beautiful in color and soft to the touch (one skein is approximately 9.5" L x 2" W). Hopefully my mother will have enough to make wonderful garments with them!!
The yarn is great and so was ordering from you. I will purchase from you again. Thank you!
This yarn is delicious! It has such a soft hand because it combines 2 luxurious fibers!! Silk and alpaca, how can you go wrong? The color is rich and a feast for the eye! I am presently finishing up a project with the pure mulberry silk yarn, but my fingers are itching to get into this yarn!
Whatever you make with Silkpaca will feel like you are wearing a cloud! This yarn is 70% baby alpaca and 30% Mulberry silk, which makes it 100% luscious, soft, silky, with just a bit of halo. Even though this yarn is thin, the ply is sturdy making Silkpaca perfect for lace projects and special objects that are sure to become heirlooms. Being as this yarn is hand-dyed, each skein can vary in color, even in the same dyelot.
