The Alpaca 8 ply Was nice to knit and I am very happy with it.
But the ELIXIR Blue I got was terrible as it was not wound properly and puckered with one strand out of the three all the time again and again .
Would not bay this again.The ELIXIR blue get only 1 star. the gray had a silver fleck in it, but was spun ok.

Just love this "Old Gold" colour in the 8ply Alpacca. It is very fine and should make a lovely soft, cuddly jumper. I've only knitted about 8 inches so far in a kind of basket weave pattern.....looking good. I tried taking a phone, however the colour just won't come out properly?? Great in person though!

The Alpaca 8 ply was a joy to knit with. I created a (brioche) scarf using blue and cream to create a gorgeous soft, warm scarf for a special friend.

I assume that alpaca goes further than normal 8ply as I purchased 5 balls to knit a sleeveless vest and only used 3 for the vest plus part of a ball for the bands. The pattern said 3 x200 gm balls of 8 ply.But of a mistake considering it was $ 20 a ball

It’s super soft

Loved it. My only complaint was that I thought a 4.5 hook worked better than a 4.00 hook. But that was a very minor issue. I’ll certainly buy more.

Have started my Alpaca jumper done in Obsidean Night, my gosh what a beautiful yarn. The colour is beautiful and rich and a big thanks to Bendigo Mills for producing the yarns they do. Always had good support with questions and I’m very happy customer. This yarn is one of the softest and quality speaks for itself. If one wants good yarn at a good price don’t go past this Aussie Wool Shop. Thank you Bendigo Mills.

Pattern fairly simple but knitting it is tricky. I am on the second time around and this time being very careful that I count and record where I am when I put the knitting down to do something else. The wool is soft and a nice shade
