Alpaca from Peru


Woohoo! I am the lucky recipient of 3, count 'em, 3 balls of Alpaca straight from Peru! My friend went on a trip there and brought them back for me. She asked me what colours I liked and I said earthy...like browns, greens, deep red and that is what she got! She had a bit of trouble finding it because even though there were numerous hand knit items made of Alpaca.....the actual yarn seemed non-existent. When she asked for it they looked at her as if she had sprouted another head!
Not sure what I will knit up....any suggestions??? I think it is 4-ply. My Spanish is very limited. I did read on the label though that it is 40% Alpaca and 60% Acrilico.....which I took to be Acrylic:)
