Magical Mohair
While mohair can be held double it can also be used entirely on it's own, or you can mix and match. A pattern like say... stripes can create a varied texture or you can make the most of its beauty in more sophisticated sheer designs.
We'll admit it, sometimes we make knitting mistakes or have inconsistent stitches but mohair smooths all this over to creates a classic and professional look - it's the fluff! It's also super lightweight so you can have a really warm garment without the heavy bulk. It pretty much does it all.
We've chosen a handful of our favorite patterns that feature mohair. Of course there are many more great patterns out there, but hopefully this little selection can help spark our imagination and maybe inspire future projects!
Mohair Rainbow
We have a bunch of really great mohair in store from a few different brands including Rowan Kidsilk Haze, Yarnfloozy Mohair Silk, Sesia Vivienne Silk Mohair, Prosper Yarn Mint Mohair and Rowan Tweed Haze.
We're pretty obsessed with it ourselves, so we've curated quite the colour selection!
If you're someone who has a mohair allergy, then may we humbly recommend Lana Grossa Setasuri alpaca/silk as a delightful fluffy substitute.
The Knitty Gritty
This section of the blog is dedicated to sharing crafting news or some hot "water cooler" (or should we say "skein winder") gossip. We'll be highlighting exciting things happening in the knitting community as well as useful tips and resources that we all might enjoy!
Everyone's talking about the Ladies Lunch Dates Tee by Harnie Hoolies Designs. We love this New Zealand yarn dyer and designer and wanted to give her a special shout out for publishing her ever first garment pattern this month!
We think she looks cool, comfortable and cute in all three versions of her Tee. We're picturing all the different colour combinations or even mini skeins or scraps that could be used to make this tee your own!
Great job Julie!
