With so many different fibres that are offered on the market.. I've only been able to try a handful of them (so far) in the 3 months that Handmade By Sylvie has been up & running.
From lower-end yarns from Michael's to expensive yarn that made my eyes widen in shock. The most expensive yarn I've seen to date cost $100/skein! I KNOW, right?!
Anyway... the material I've loved working with on a few orders is from Blue Sky Alpacas.

They have all these wonderful kinds of yarn like the Worsted Cottons and Bulky lines. I go yarn petting often, it's such a guilty pleasure - but it helps you learn about all the texture and fibres that are out there!
In my last post, I mentioned the smooth & silky Worsted Hand-Dyes. Composition: 50% royal alpaca, 50% merino.

This material knits up quicker than you think! If you're the type of person who loves to make your own knits, but hates how long it can take to complete a project.. you should definitely try the Worsted Hand-Dyes. They've got a lot of colours & any stitch work looks gorgeous.
