    Wonderful yarn, warm and soft to touch, it is a shame that this product is now no longer available. I have many items knit in this yarn.

    I believe WYS had had difficulty sourcing British Alpaca, and also price of this yarn may be prohibitive to sales

    Illustrious DK yarn, Old Lace colour, 70% Falkland yarn, 30% alpaca

    I used this yarn to make some baby garments: matinee jackets, leggings, mittens and bonnet. It is absolutely fabulous in every respect and creates beautiful garments: soft and quite elastic and stretchy. Despite the 'machine washable' indication, I strongly recomment NOT washing in a machine anything made of this yarn. The first matinee jacket I knitted hand washed very satisfactorily but it shrank to a felted dolly's jacket after its first, and only, machine wash.
