Cotton Alpaca Tweed Alpaca Yarn for Crocheting, 4-Pack (588Yds / 200G), Free Patterns - Tweed Yarn for Knitting - 3 DK Light Worsted Weight - Black Charcoal

Beautiful yarn. Skeins look small but they actually go a long way. I am using them in hats as a contrast color. Very soft!

This yarn is absolutely beautiful!! It is a little hairy but worked carefully it really is a great contrast for the sample swatch.

Very pretty color yarn for fall. Very thin and knots up easily. You can not un do it more than a couple of stitches. But if you practice your pattern beforehand on anther thicker yarn you won't waste yarn. One skein made a beginning scarf at about three hands long by two hands wide. I also used a tunisian knit stitch so that it would be thicker on a 5.5mm crochet hook. I like longer scarfs so you will probably need 5-6 skeins. -1☆ for knotting up very easily.

Amazing and easy to work with for being so dark!

The most challenging yarn I’ve not been pleasured to work with. I crochet a lot. I consider myself an intermediate to advanced intermediate. I like making things to keep people or animals warm, like beanies, for example. I can usually work up a beanie, with fold up brim, and dense stitching pattern, in one day, at a leisurely pace. With this yarn, it took me 2 1/2 days of struggling, not fun crocheting, to make a beanie. The end result, although soft, was extremely disappointing as my beautiful stitching is not clearly visible due to this yarn. I’ve made over 100 items with this stitch and never has my work disappeared into the yarn like it did here. So, I made another beanie, in one day…so the recipient, a friend, could choose which beanie she preferred. The first one, using this yarn, was an embarrassment for me. So I wanted to offer her at least a choice in case she didn’t like it, as well. I presented her with both and she chose the second beanie made of a different yarn…even though this yarn is the “premium” and the “softest” yarn…and not expensive… she chose the other. My friend, btw, is hairless so I really wanted this beanie to be soft and not abrasive in her scalp…and pretty to wear! So, I’ll try to sell the one made from this yarn but wish me luck because it’s NOT impressive. It’s not worth the money and it’s hard to work with and it doesn’t show your stitches. Enough said. (Pics show a beanie made with this yarn and another beanie using alternative yarn…which the recipient preferred).

So soft! Can’t wait to crochet with it!

Would not recommend for crocheting.

I ordered the brown ones that look fine with my pecan colored headboard and footboard
