I had the chance to work with Blue Sky Alpaca Organic Cotton and the regular Cotton, which are pretty much the same product. I really liked working with them! The loft was nice. I still found the heft to be a little much, but as previously mentioned, I do have fibromyalgia, so that could have played into it. But the color selection ranges from muted to bright and they are very soft. I would strongly reccomend it. I used as a substitute for Spud & Chloe Sweater yarn, and I think it works out just fine. I also used a size 8 needle, and that worked out just as well. I only needed a slight adjustment. 5 out of 5 stars.
P.S. I do have a recently finished project for Finished Fridays. However, I am moving this weekend and I may not get to the post. I also do not have a phone jack in my second bedroom yet. I also have a 10 day holiday planned shortly. So if you do not see a post until September between appointments, moving, and my holiday, have a great summer, and see you in the indian summer/fall!
