Wonderful soft yarn in lovely colours, not started knitting this kit as I need to finish another project first but I’m getting itchy fingers to start it.
Lovely clear instructions and having its own bag to carry it round in is a bonus.
Absolutely love my gorgeous alpaca kit it arrived very quickly ,the pattern is very easy to follow and the wool is so soft ,I love the little bag that comes with it so useful and I must say the company is so helpful if you should have any problems I will certainly be ordering again
"I love my yarn from Gorgeous Alpacas, always great quality. Fast delivery, well packaged and sent with care. Cushion inners are excellent quality too. Currently knitting my first pair of socks and my 5th cushion. Thank you"
Lovely soft yarn in gorgeous colours. I bought 3 kits and so far only one made up. The pattern was easy to follow and the finished fingerless turned out well. Only 2 hats to knit now and I'm looking forward to getting started. The kits arrived quickly each in a little cotton bag, I was delighted with this little touch. I'll definitely be buying more.
"Received my orders - wool is very soft and love the little bags the kits came in. Have not started the kits yet as I am in the middle of a project, but cannot wait to start"
