Knit Picks yarn

Mom and I were looking at some yarns at http://www.knitpicks.com. The
yarns seem to be good from the descriptions on the site, but the prices
seem too good to be true. Does anyone have any experience with these
yarn--good or bad? How does it knit? How does it hold up in the long
run? 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
www.knittersreview.com.

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!!!

I've ordered and received two kinds of their laceweight, and three
colors of two kinds of other yarn, Elegance and Andean Treasure. All
have been soft, beautiful and worked up nicely. I've been very pleased
with them. My orders take longer to receive than some people report,
but they arrive within their stated time frame in the shipping message.
I kind of thought they were responding the the Peruvian Collection put
out by Elann. A few of the yarns at first were very similar, and some
seem to be exactly the same.

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!"
