Review of Big Bad Wool Weepaca Yarn

Hey everyone, it's Deja from CrochetViagra.com. Today I'm going to do a little review on Big Bad Wool. And this is one of the yarns that I got in my yarn subscription boxes. You can check those out by checking out my website to read and see more about those. But I'm going to talk about Big Bad Wool. The kind that I got was alpaca, and it's a 50% wool, 50% alpaca blend. And these hanks have 95 yards each, so it's kind of a small amount. You won't be able to do too much with it by itself if you have just one hank. I'm going to do an airy type cowl, but they gave me four hanks in the yarn subscription box, so I'm going to put the three colors together into a pattern and see how well they work out together. They look like they'll be a good match, but that's about 300 yards, so that's good for a scarf. And then, if all goes well, I'll be giving away this extra hank, so stay tuned and see how the pattern comes out, and I'll let you know how well I like the yarn. So far, it wound up very easily, it was nicely tied together so it was easy to take out the ties and wind it on the swift. The yarn itself is really soft. Very, very soft. Alpaca is usually a very soft type of yarn, so it's a great blend. And I'm going to go ahead and start my project, and I'll show you what I have at the end. I finished my alpaca projects, and I was able to make a cowl and a beanie, and still have some yarn left over from my four... Hanks all together. I did have to use that last hank. Sorry guys. I can't give it away But I had to use a little bit of extra brown for the beanie because I did the top in brown But you can see the color combination is really great I love the colors all together and this yarn is so soft It was so nice working with when I was crocheting because the alpaca in it makes it just super soft It's like silky to work with when you're crocheting with it. So it's really a pleasure And then afterwards, it doesn't need blocking. You can wear it right now because it's so soft. You don't have to soften up the fibers. So it's a great yarn overall. I would totally recommend it. It crochets wonderfully. I did have to almost frog this entire beanie, so I know that it does not get stuck. So even though it does have wool in it, it frogs out really easily, so you don't have to worry about your yarn getting stuck on itself when you have to rip out a project, so that's also another definite plus. So overall, great yarn. Totally recommend it. I will definitely definitely be buying it again. And if you like the patterns, they are for sale on the blog, so you can go head over to the blog and check them out. And thank you for watching!
