Sara's Yarn Review
The name of this yarn does not lie, it really is the softest alpaca. It is a blend of 70% Alpaca, 23% recycled Nylon and 7% wool, it is super soft but surprisingly strong. So strong you can use it with confidence when sewing up your garments.
I couldn’t wait to get it on to needles. I had one ball so needed a small project. I thought I’d try out the Kylie Beanie, this is a free pattern on our website and it’s a cute cabled hat. The tension worked out perfectly and it knitted up in just one evening. The yarn lends itself to cables and was a joy to knit with. It glides along the needles (I used wooden Lykke). I topped the beanie with a Trimits pom pom and it looks fab.
I will definitely be using this yarn again and there are more Kylie hats in my future. They will make perfect Christmas gifts.
