Thanks for the info. I know how warm it is as I am currently sitting under a throw made of baby alpaca. It gets warm enough that I need to throw it off occasionally!
As I think about this yarn It occurs to me that it is so slick and soft that it is the stitches that are shifting, more than the wool that is stretching. Guess I'll just finish this sucker off and see what happens.

I did knit a little (little) shawl once of alpaca, I wanted to knit something out of the yarn I had spun, and I made the stitches tighter than I would have with the Rominy or Leicester wool I often spun. Sometimes knitters don't like working with alpaca for its lack of bounciness and springiness--but I love the finished products. I've done all kinds of things with fabric and yarn, but knitting drives me crazy because I drop stitches.
