This is one of the yarns that the more you use it the more you'll like it. Knitted and crocheted projects made from this warm yarn are soft with vibrant colors. This yarn also has a little better yardage than the normal 109 yards that most chunky weight yarns come in. This can be an advantage for some knitting projects where you want to buy just one skein. The yarn is durable enough for slippers and gloves. I knit mukluks from this soft yarn and they are super warm. This is a fantastic alpaca yarn blend!
