Theyarns seem to be good from the descriptions on the site, but the pricesseem too good to be true. Does anyone have any experience with theseyarn--good or bad? How does it knit? How does it hold up in the longrun? That kind of thing.Any input is appreciated.

I've used the Merino Style for some of the 6x6 squares and liked knitting with it. It seems to be a nice quality yarn. I also bought some Alpaca Cloud but haven't used it yet. You will probably find some reviews at

I have ordered several of their yarns, Wool of the Andes, Andean Silk(this stuff is really nice), Merion Wool, and the Palette of Peruvian Wool...that is 30 balls, 231 yards each, 30 different colors, great for fair isle knitting................and others that I can't remember off the top of my head.......AND I have NOTHING but praise for the company....the yarn is great, no problems, it holds up and wears well, the prices are wonderful, and the service has always been exceptional..... Knit Picks won my heart about a year and a half ago!!! Maggie

I know there are others out there who have had bad experiences, but I have ordered once and I would definitely order again. I knitted up a shawl with Elegance, a merino/silk blend, and it's absolutely beautiful. The yarn was much softer knitted up than in the ball, which had been compressed during shipping. I also ordered some self-patterning sock yarn, but I have not yet knitted it up. It looks and feels as good as Regia though.

Thanks for the help, everyone. I'm going to check them out when I can. It was one of those happy moments when I found them "hey! I can afford to knit nice stuff again!"
