Amazing banana alpaca silk
This yarn is simply amazing. It feels like I'm touching a cloud on a sunny day.
Banana Alpaca Silk
Lovely soft yummy yarn but the colour does not have the depth as it appears in the photo - which I was looking for. Do you have one that has a deeper yellow in the stash? Maybe I can exchange it?? Love your yarns though, it is always exciting getting packages from you :)
Banana Alpaca Silk
It's only just arrived, so I can't speak to how it knits up, but it's beautifully soft, so I'm very excited to work with it. The color is just slightly less intense than I thought it might be, but I think that will contribute to wearability, and the overall range of tones is beautiful and what I expected from the photos. Overall a beautiful product that I'm very happy to have in my collection.
Banana Alpaca Silk
I love the yarns I have purchased from Expression Fibers and this new alpaca silk base is no exception. It is soft and works up well - holds its shape and looks amazing. I was worried that this color would be too yellow but it is not at all - it is perfect! The small flecks of other colors and the different shades of yellow make it a very interesting dye. I have no hesitation on buying other colors in this base yarn. Thanks Chandi for more beautiful yarn!
