Alpaca SuperLight by Lang
You simply won't believe this super-soft, super-fine, super-luxurious, super-light alpaca yarn from Lang. This yarn has a light halo, yet is less transparent than most brushed yarns. No tickle or scratch like mohair, none of the itchiness you might expect with a feathery yarn.

This yarn really is super light--a dress takes only 175 grams in size small, and a medium long sleeve sweater is about 200 grams. That coat will float down the street with you--it's like wearing a warm alpaca cloud!

Perfect for lace scarves, shawls and stoles, but great for lighter-than-air sweaters too.

See the Lang booklets featuring this yarn here.

5 of 5 Rescue September 12, 2022
Reviewer: Anonymous Person from St Petersburg, FL United States  
I bought some "discontinued" yarn on a trip to France - a one-time trip.  One of the balls was apparently short, because I ran out (short-weight) just before the end of my shawl!  with little hope, I googled for it and found it here, although I wasn't sure of the color.  Laurel helped me determine which one I needed and I got it very quickly.  It was a perfect match and my souvenir shawl is complete.  I happened on the site by accident, but the customer service will make me return in the future!  Thanks, Laurel!

3 of 5 Yarn great, packaging not so great. February 26, 2021
Reviewer: Anonymous Person from Sterling Heights, MI United States  
My yarn came quickly which was wonderful. My only problem was in cutting open the packaging, I cut carefully in the area of the flap that was the seal.  I found out too late that the yarn had moved into the area and the scissors cut through one of the skeins. I believe if the yarn was secured by wrapping in tissue paper or placing in a plastic bag, the yarn would not have been able to shift and the accidental cutting wouldn’t have happened.  It was very sad to have to throw out the cut pieces.
