Berrocco Ulta Alpaca is one of my favorite yarns. It is luscious to crochet with. I recently completed a complex blanket (from The Floral Hook), using alot of different colors. When finished I blocked it, then washed it on gentle in my washing machine, placed it back on the blocking matts and dried it. It did shrink a little, just as I hoped. The colors are gorgeous, the slight shrinking just right to make it a bit thicker and richer. It will become a wall hanging as soon as I have the gumption...
