Pastaza Llama-Wool There aren't many yarns that feel as smooth and silky as this one. I'm always re-impressed each time I knit with this yarn just how incredibly nice it feels in the hands! On the shelf it appears to be "just like Lamb's Pride" and at almost $2/per skein more than Lamb's Pride not everyone jumps to try it. But for a special project, it is really worth the premium. Those customers who have tried it have come back for more and raved about their experience with the yarn. It felts really well too. Most of the colors are heathers, and require a closer look to appreciate their depth...especially the Royal Navy. Where most navies can seem flat and dull, this one has hints of periwinkle and royal interspersed making it a particularly gorgeous navy. When men come into the store to pick out yarn, 8 times out of ten they will pick this charcoal for their project (the other ones they go for are the Manos colors 105 and 108 and the Blithe baby camel in charcoal. Shown below in a simple cabled pillow. The jacket below has a beautiful stitch (be sure to click on it for a better photo) and is slightly tapered from the cast on to the waist for a flattering look. Pastaza knits at 4 - 4.5 sts/in US 9 or 10. 132 yds/sk Price: $9.00/sk.
