Just wondering how it compares to other types of yarn. Would you recommend Alpaca wool?
Dou you like knitting with it? What do you think are its best qualities?

Just wondering as my parents have a couple of alpacas that need to be shorn every year and
trying to work out if it's worth the expense of finding someone to spin the wool.
