Mary Maxim Y083-302 Natural Alpaca Tweed Yarn (Blue Stone)

I raise alpacas and love this blend! It worked up beautifully into the baby afghan pictured. The only reason I didn't give it five stars is because of all of the very loosely woven-in "nubbies". You can see one of them in the center of the first image. I'm not crazy about the black being added at all, but the fact that they are so loose makes them a hazard for babies. I pulled many of mine off. Otherwise, this is wonderfully soft, as expected from alpaca fleece, and a delight to use.

I know the name of the color is sand dune, however, based on the photograph I must say I was expecting a shade of olive which I thought was really ugly and I loved it. Opening the box I found that it’s tan, and not the olive I was expecting. I’m disappointed that I don’t get that ugly green that’s shown in the photo, but also not disappointed because I like the tan also and this is one of the softest yarns I’ve felt. Looks like I’ll have to find that shade elsewhere.

Gorgeous color yarn, but it is not as soft as I expected, and it is itchy feeling.

Love it! Very soft and easy to work with. I’m a beginner and found this has been my favorite yarn so far! Nice color. Bought the pink and the gray. Not sure which color I love the most. Buying more now because I love the super softness of the hats I made with it!

I made a jumper for my 4 year old and she loves it! This yarn does split a lot, but it is still quite easy to work with.

This yarn works up beautifully. It is a little hard to work with because the strands separate easily.

Was ideal for matching hat & mittens

This wool is wonderful and made such a beautiful hat/scarf that I had to make 3 more for people that saw mine.
