Gorgeous. This is a somewhat springy, extra soft alpaca yarn with moderately heavy drape. It is very slightly fuzzy, like a wool blend with a bit of angora, with a similar feel: soft against the hand, but with a negligible prickle against the neck. The colors are really rich--deeply saturated, high value and multi tonal. I chose a deep purplish color and am crocheting a luxury scarf with it, but was also tempted by the deep red-orange color choice. My only complaint is that I found a big knot in the first ball, impossible to hide in the crochet scarf, not what I want in a pricey yarn.
