I'm having a moment with this yarn this morning. Wandering Wool sent in samples of her delicious "Opalescent" yarn for this month which is a beautifully soft and luxurious blend of 40/40/20 Baby Alpaca/wool/silk. This colorway is called: Amazon Orchid and it is speaking to me!
This yarn is the kind you desperately want to knit with, but will be content to pet until the most perfect pattern comes along- preferably one as close to your face as possible!
If you would like a chance to win this gorgeous skein of yarn, please visit Wandering Wool today, find something you love, and write about it in the comments section below. We'll be drawing for a winner in a few days- probably Sunday or Monday, so please take some time to share this with your online social network as well for extra points!

So many beautiful colorways to choose from. I like the Amazon Orchid colorway. My second favorite would be the Alpace, Wool, Silk yarn in Alpine Meadow colorway.
The yarn is all really gorgeous and I wish I could afford to buy enough for my next sweater project. Instead, since you mentioned how soft and face-time ready the prize yarn is, how about that lovely cowl pattern/kit? (http://www.etsy.com/listing/80698472/cowl-kit-knitting-pattern-and-hand-dyed) Want it!
I NEED the gray matter Worsted weight yarn! oh geez I want to make a sweater out of that!!!
OMG - I love the cowl and kit - i love the morning light colorways, polyjuice potion is way cool and her spring color and lemon custard are fabulous!
I love the cranberry bog MCN sock yarn - pretty and yummy-looking!
Ooh! The worsted weight yarn in the Candied Yam colorway is my favorite! What a rich shade of orange!
I love the merino lace weight yarns in ink blot and gray matter.

Gorgeous!

Her colors are so lovely, and her opalescent yarn so so yummy and soft! Other than the giveaway item, I love her cowl pattern/yarn kit.

That is very pretty! I don't know any other yarn that has the fiber percentages...I wonder how the drape is?
She has beautiful socks yarn. Her mix of merino/silk in stardust color is very beautiful.
