"Very soft (due to the alpaca) and easy to spin evenly. I still consider myself a beginner spinner, and am having no trouble keeping a consistent spin. I'm spinning at sport weight to make a cardigan for a toddler. The yarn, ultimately, should be soft and cozy. The colors are as shown - the white has a little pink tinge to it, which you can see in the pictures."
"Rosie's Olympus blend is by far my favorite to spin. The merino and alpaca are very well blended. It melts out of my hands when spinning like butter. The merino gives the yarn a nice squishy feel and the alpaca gives it a silkier, less wooly feel. The colors have a nice depth to them. This is a delight to hand and eye to spin."
"The color is beautiful! This feels so soft! I can handle wait to get my hands spinning."
"The colors are lovely. I bought the Hera and liked it so much I just had to purchase the others. The fiber is smooth and soft, resulting in a lucious, shiny yarn I look forward to knitting. I know that I will want more of this fiber in future if it is still available when I am ready for it."
"Thank you a made my husband a scarf with this is he LOVED IT! Thanks"
"A dream to spin!"
"I bought the Hestia Red color roving and set it in a basket next to my wheel and just admired the rich beautiful color of this fiber for a couple of months while I completed spinning on another project. Once I started spinning this fiber I immediately regretted waiting so long to start. It is so soft and pretty I can’t wait to knit or weave it into something lovely to wear."
"This was lovely roving and I would buy it again"
"Love it!"
"Lovely yarn, many choices in blends"
