Wednesday Review:Bernat Alpaca Blends
Now, this one was an unususal one. While this one was a 70% acrylic, 30% alpaca blend, it was unusually soft, but yet a little scratchy when worked up alone, as alpaca tends to be. I chose this for a typically worsted weight project, and even though it is listed as bulky, the guage was spot on, and I found that it still worked well. It comes in nice, muted colors. I used fern, because I love and have a deep predilection for all things green. It comes with black overtones, which I feel makes it match a lot of things. But the most fascinating thing of all is that it is without pesticides or fertilizers and is eco-friendly. I am a promoter of all things eco-friendly, and the blend of acrylic and natural fibers I am willing to try. I was pleasantly surprised. In the world of acrylics, I would give it 4 out of 5 stars..
