Excellent sweater yarn, warm for its weight, pilling is very minimal
My current favourite sweater yarn - it knits up beautifully, with a bit of gauge flexibility. Pilling is really minimal, so important for sweater knitting. The alpaca component gives nice warmth for the weight but may be a bit itchy next to the skin for some wearers. I'm on my 3rd sweater with it, and plan to use it for a travel wrap for which it's the recommended yarn, and expect it to be warm and also to have some drape from the alpaca and viscose.
