We love the way this single-ply yarn blossoms to give an appearance of a mohair blend. The heavenly soft texture makes it excellent for garments, hats, and scarves. It is ideal for Fair Isle as its naturally clinging properties encourage floats to stick to knitting and to other floats, reducing the possibility of fingers catching the strands. The finished fabric is dense yet supple, with minimal blocking required. Helpful tip: It is best to pull the yarn from the outside of the ball rather than from the center.
