mini yarn review

Okay, I don't spin, or know the technical bits and whatnot of how yarns are manufactured.  But I know I yarn I like when I meet it.  And this is a yarn I like.

Here's my oh-so-technical review:  Jo Sharp Alpaca Kid Lustre is beautiful.  It is soft.  It has a silky sheen, with just a hint of a mohair halo -- but with no mohair ickiness (and I am pretty sensitive to mohair).  It was a great discovery in Sydney.  Apparently it's been available there since the spring, but it's arriving here in the states now.  It's 30% superfine alpaca, 40% kid mohair, and 30% merino.  Just lovely.

I've started a really nice dressy yet manly scarf with it in this great pewter color (shade 859).  Wish I had bought more!  (much like food diets, vacation means not having to yarn diet!)
