Happy New Year sweetie. Loving your new look :-)
Fibery goodness! Just enough to tell how you like the yarn and decide if you want to spend the bucks on the whole skein.
I wonder does anyone knit with alpaca yarn that is made from alpaca fur?
I see so many blogs about knitting and am surprised that not many of them have even discovered alpaca yarn as the greatest yarn available.
