The boss was really excited when he got his hands on this super soft and light yarn from Norwegian Viking.
And yes, he was right: The yarn is as soft and light as a cloud. Do you need a jumper for your child(ren), a shawl for yourself, a sweater for your other half, or else a large blanket for the cozy evenings? Then it will be a pleasure to knit just that in this yarn.
The yarn is thick and soft, and because it’s just so lightly spun, a finished men’s sweater isn’t especially heavy. Alpaca Bris is knitted on size 6 - 7mm needles, which means it’s not a problem to whip up large projects as well. The gauge consists of a mere 15 st per 10cm.
Look forward to getting started knitting with Alpaca Bris - It’s a pure (and soft) joy.

This yarn is AMAZING. Soft, versatile, not even the slightest bit itchy (!!!) and perfect for clothing.
As a Canadian, I can tell you first-hand it's perfect for that transitional vest or cozy sweater :) Definitely worth it, definitely stock up. I often use this yarn held double for a more plush thickness - it is delicate for my standards, definitely follow the care instructions and block your pieces.

Super soft and squishy!!! I bought it for a specific pattern but have not started to knit as of yet. The yarn has a great feel and I know it will knit beautifully. The only con was that I had hoped the color was a bit more burgundy, it was a little more on the rust side. With that said, I don't blame anything but the computer screen. All of the other yarn has been color spot-on.

I used this to knit up a warm cowl for a wonderful woman who has moved to CT from southern CO for her first winter in 88 years. While I normally don’t like chain yarn, this was easy to work with, will be warm and looks great on the recipient! Had no problems with this yarn at all and loved working with it.

Such a soft and light yarn! I love the colours and feel of it. My only wish was that it came in a larger skein/ball. 150 meters isn't bad, but for a bigger project like a blanket, you'll likely end up using quite a few balls. I'd say buy them all at once to save on shipping!

I bought this to knit a shawl for myself & one for my girlfriend. This yarn is true to the color on the website. It is like knitting with whip cream. So yummy. I will find other project that I can knit up using this yarn. I am not disappointed at all.
