Choosing knitting & crochet yarn often comes down to a clear tradeoff: do you want a large hank in a Peruvian alpaca wool mix, or a 50g milk cotton ball with a much lower listed price? The two formats, fibers, colors, and stated yarn weights point to different shopping priorities. Their listed prices differ by $17.01, so the right pick depends less on a universal winner and more on how much yarn and which fiber description suit your project.
Quick verdict
Choose the Nice Large Hank Peruvian #2 SOFT Alpaca Wool Yarn Mix when the larger 1 lb 1 oz hank, Beautiful Grey Mix color, and Peruvian alpaca wool yarn mix are the main draw. Choose the NEW Multi colors Milk Cotton Skeins Hand Knitting Wool Baby Crochet Yarn 50g when you want the lower listed price, a 50g ball, and the cotton-and-wool material description. The former offers the larger listed quantity; the latter keeps the initial spend much lower.

Where each yarn wins
- Peruvian Alpaca Wool Mix Hank: It wins on the listed quantity and its distinctive alpaca-wool description. The grey mix and hank format also give it a more specifically defined starting point for a project.
- Milk Cotton 50g Ball: It wins on the listed price and smaller format. Its cotton-and-wool description, milk cotton material, and off-white color suit shoppers who want a compact ball rather than a large hank.
Product notes
Nice Large Hank Peruvian #2 SOFT Alpaca Wool Yarn Mix
The strongest reason to choose this yarn is the listed 1 lb 1 oz, 484g hank paired with a Peruvian alpaca wool yarn mix. That gives shoppers a substantially larger amount to plan around than the 50g ball, while the Beautiful Grey Mix color offers a defined visual direction. Its 2 - Fine/Sport designation and Soft product line add useful naming detail for anyone organizing a project by stated yarn category. The limitation is equally concrete: the hank format and larger amount may be more material than a small project requires, and its listed price is higher than the cotton ball's. Pick it when quantity, grey-mix coloring, and the alpaca-wool description matter more than keeping the initial spend low.
NEW Multi colors Milk Cotton Skeins Hand Knitting Wool Baby Crochet Yarn 50g
This 50g yarn is a practical match for shoppers who want a smaller listed amount and the lowest price in this head-to-head. Its ball shape, milk cotton material, and cotton-and-wool fiber description give it a distinct profile from the large alpaca-wool hank. The off-white color is the clearest listed color reference, and the Handknit Cotton product line keeps the intended craft context easy to understand. The limitation is its smaller quantity: 50g is far less than the 484g hank, so it is not the comparable pick when one purchase needs to provide a large amount of yarn. Choose it for a compact starting quantity, a lower upfront price, or the cotton-focused material description.
Final choice by use case
- For the larger listed quantity: Choose the Peruvian Alpaca Wool Mix Hank, with its 1 lb 1 oz, 484g format.
- For the lower listed price: Choose the Milk Cotton 50g Ball at USD 1.99 rather than USD 19.00.
- For alpaca wool and a grey mix: Choose the Peruvian Alpaca Wool Mix Hank.
- For milk cotton material and a smaller ball: Choose the NEW Milk Cotton Yarn 50g.
If your priority is having more yarn in one purchase, the large hank is the straightforward choice. If you want to limit the initial spend and prefer a 50g ball with cotton and wool listed, the milk cotton yarn is the better fit.
