I like to work with yarn that feels good in my hands. I don’t care for yarns with no give and I really don’t care for acrylics. Rambouillet is a new favorite because it’s so bouncy.
That baby alpaca sounds yummy! Are you finding the hairs are itchy? Also how is the memory of it? I tend to stay away from alpaca due to the fact it stretches.
I love the way your mat is turning out; you found the perfect project for that yarn.
That alpaca yarn looks amazing. I love that you are calling it yarn tasting rather than testing. 😃

I like wool yarns that stick together. Woolen spun, and/or wools with longer fibers.
And I particularly love undyed yarns.
I own a TON of alpaca and alpaca blend yarns

My favorite wool? Well, Merino!!!
Yarn tastings are such a great idea and I love them. Thank you also for the mention Jodie, very much appreciated.
I love the idea of a yarn tasting. My local yarn shop (now sadly no more) did this once in the pre-Covid days and it was so much fun.
