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 yarn are warm with vibrant colors. The yarn is durable enough for socks, slippers, and gloves. I used this fine yarn for colorwork gloves and I am in love! The price point allows you to buy many different colors of this light DK weight alpaca yarn and wool yarn blend without breaking the bank.
