Comments about Alpaca Direct Thistle Mixed Merino Top:
I liked working with this, but it's an extremely pale light blue (I was thinking it would be a lighter version of primrose), almost white-ish. Not what I figured it would be from the picture.
color varies from expectations

Comments about Alpaca Direct Thistle Mixed Merino Top:
the roving is consistently soft, beautifully carded, but spins up only with a hint of lavender or purple hue as I had expected. Overall appearance is a lovely soft gray/pearl with just a hint of the lavender hue. Otherwise just fabulous roving to work with
