I really like this company. This is my first encounter with them. Their website is easy to navigate, they give you points for every dollar spent, and shipping was speedy. Here is a little about them and their motto:

My first encounter with them was, as I have mentioned using the artesano 4-ply alapaca. I was very impressed. Lots of glide and not the slightedst bit itchy. This is a boon, considering that I was using it in a hat. I would definitely reccomend it again. I would give it 5 out of 3 stars. Here is a picture of a sample:
I used the violet and the biscuit colorway to make the adult version of Alana Dakos' Molly hat pattern. To find the link to purchase said hat, you may go to Ravelry, or to: http://nevernotknitting.blogspot.com/2009/09/molly.html
The yarn, at $6.95 a pop, is a real steal! Check it out!
