Comments about Cascade Yarn Cascade Baby Alpaca Chunky Paints - Snowden Hill #9827:
Thick and luscious, soft as a cloud, beautiful colorway--this yarn is wonderful to work with. I made a Mobius scarf from two skeins, and the recipient loves it.
I was a little disappointed that 3/3 ribbing lost most of its "sproing" after wet blocking. I think this might be a characteristic of alpaca in general and not a fault of this particular yarn. If I were to buy it again, I'd plan to make something that doesn't depend on ribbing for stretch or shape.
My order was shipped promptly and arrived in perfect condition. The colorway (Snowden Hill) was accurately represented in the online photo.

I loved the deep rich, colors, but they may be TOO deep for some outfits. Best as a darker-tone scarf to wear with lighter coats, as it's dark tones would be very hard to match to an outfit.
