ReplyDeleteI love the Alpaca Merino White Yarn. I can only find shades of brown alpaca around here.

ReplyDeleteI love all of her hand knit baby hats. Just to cute.
ReplyDeleteI <3 North Star Alpacas. I had been eying the lovely mystery fleece for a while, but see now it is gone. Is that more Ironman, I see?
ReplyDeleteEverything is so pretty! I'll choose the Hand spun Alpaca Angora Yarn - 150 yards. It looks like it would be beautiful to work with.
ReplyDeleteI love the Green Carded Batt for Spinning or Felting - Alpaca Merino Angora Silk Angelina - 2.8 ounces/80 grams.
ReplyDeleteI love everything at Maple's shop! She's one of my favorite phatties and I'd go broke if I didn't have more self control around her lovely alpaca fibers...
ReplyDeleteBut if I had to choose, right now I'm really digging the Liz Batts, the batts carded up by her granddaughter. They're so pretty, my fave colors, and what a cool story!
I love the blue & white alpaca roving, but Chocolate Chip Mint is my favorite flavor- how can I choose?!!
ReplyDeleteWhile the yarns are gorgeous, I absolutely adore the meta nature of the large alpaca hat made from alpaca yarn. I look silly in hats, but I would totally wear it.
ReplyDeleteYum, alpaca! I really like the 266 yards of dark brown laceweight handspun alpaca (whoa, that was a mouthful). I don't usually buy handspun yarn (since I spin myself), but it's just so pretty!
ReplyDeleteYou know, just the plain white farm grown Alpaca Merino yarn looks purely lovely.
ReplyDeletethe brown and white swirl! :)
ReplyDeleteThe Liz Batts in green, blue, and grey are quite stunning!
ReplyDeleteI also love the Liz batts!
ReplyDeleteDoes telling you about my $100+ of loot from North Star Alpacas I got last month count for the giveaway. Maple is amazingly amazing. She accidentally forgot 4oz of my roving so when she shipped it she included an EXTRA 4OZ! She said she was going to include a little something to make up for it but I didn't think it would be a whole 4oz! Very sweet.
ReplyDeleteI love the alpaca roving that's mixed with merino, silk, bamboo, and angelina...I ordered some this month and might have to order some more because it is spinning up so beautifully!
