For all it's fluff and softness, it makes a surprisingly heavy garment. Not necessarily a bad thing, but something to keep in mind when choosing a project.

And it tends to felt at the ends of the sleeves, becouse they get wet when I do the dishes, when I wash wool etc..<br />and the sleeves get longer too.ursitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00802017826563254663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4052723513986842570.post-18457106818936179482011-02-23T10:24:23.786+00:002011-02-23T10:24:23.786+00:00very nice, really looking forward to seeing this l...very nice, really looking forward to seeing this lot spun into beautiful fluffy yarn :)Helen Jacobs-Granthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14938430588039479721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4052723513986842570.post-39493994673093387852011-02-23T10:08:48.964+00:002011-02-23T10:08:48.964+00:00Oh that looks fab!

I go into my LYS and squish the Alpaca yarns every time trying to justify it to myself (£5.95 per 50g ball) I think I may just have to give in now I have found a fantastic pattern for figerless mitts which I am doing in cashmere at the moment!<br />Love Tickety-boo xxTickety-boohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05070171530783007471noreply@blogger.com
