Will 50%alpaca%50wool work for a soaker?

[feest]

I just found out i'm pregnant with my forth and i want to get going on a load of soakers and maybe get a little destashing done.

I have 5 skeins of ECY zoom and i was wondering if it would work? maybe if i lanolize it after i finished? I have no experience in how alpaca works.

any one know if it would work?

yes, I'm pretty sure these are the drawbacks:
1. alpaca is much warmer than wool, great for winter, not so good for the warmer months
2. I think alpaca loses it's shape more quickly. If you're doing shorties or longies this may be an issue for the waist. You can always make a belt or use elastic in the waistband. If it's a wrap style, I don't think it will matter too much. If you felt it, I think it will be perfectly fine.
The benefit is that it will be super soft on that new baby skin!

Thank you. Now that u've exlained it it sounds perfect for newborn soakers.
