Comments about Plymouth Yarn Plymouth Alpaca Brush Yarn - Cocoa #2140:

I used a neutral color of the brushed alpaca as the basis to make a blanket for a friend to snuggle in front of the TV. I used a larger needle size than recommended. I also incorporated some pattern stripes of a mohair/metallic novelty yarn into the design for some color and sparkle. The blanket is very soft and warm and knitted up fairly easily. The only drawback is that tinking is a little tricky due to both yarns' halo. I suppose it is the price you have to pay to get a blanket this fluffy!
Given how large a needle I used, the yarn has surprising structure. I will make some fingerless mitts and scarf with the leftovers!
