Knitter's Review

 Don't you love it when a yarn surprises you?
When I first saw this week's yarn, I assumed it was brushed mohair or even an angora blend. But when I looked at the label, I discovered that it was actually a brushed alpaca from Peru.
The name is Baby Alpaca Brush, and I review it this week.
In the Boutique: Calendarama

Fall Retreat Update
The third-annual Knitter's Review Retreat will take place November 5-7 in Syria, Virginia. I'm excited to announce that Barbara Gentry of Stony Mountain Fibers will be giving a needle felting demonstration on Saturday evening! Sign up for the Saturday portion of the retreat or place yourself on the waiting list for the full weekend here.
In the Forums: Safe Silk?
Is there such a thing as a no-kill silk fiber, where the silkworms haven't been killed during processing?
