What is quality yarn?

Multiple aspects come into play when assessing the quality of a yarn. While finer materials like alpaca or mohair are in high demand among knitting enthusiasts, they can sometime disappoint when the fibers used are not of the highest quality. There are, indeed, different quality levels of alpaca or mohair yarn with different designation depending on the weight and length of the wool used. Superfine or extrafine alpaca wool or baby alpaca wool are designations given to the finest, therefore the softest and longest fibers. By buying superfine alpaca, you will be sure to obtain a softer knitted garment compared to fine or plain alpaca wool. Careful knitters know how to spot the difference and are receptive to the indications on yarn labels.
Same story for [mohair yarn]. Kid mohair, with the longest and finest hair, corresponds to the highest quality wool for mohair that grants softness for your piece. On the other hand, mohair yarns sold with no extra indication doesn’t display the same fineness level. In that case, rougher hairs can be responsible for an unpleasant itchy feeling.
The other thing to take into consideration is the spinning of the wool. Quality organic wool is spun tightly as to create a yarn that holds itself together well. Loosely spun yarn strands, such as chunky yarn tend to thin out easily, stretching the garment out the more it is worn. Looser strands of yarn also have the drawback of not keeping the fibers together well, causing unpleasant pilling with friction.
