Soft and high quality for cardigans
I like the softness and quality. I used it for a cardigan. It is not itchy. I blocked it with a lanolin cleanser. It’s very light and warm.

I was in the middle of my sweater and ran out of the yellow to do the color work flowers. I'm in the US and couldn't find a store that had it. I snapped it up immediately when I saw it on LoveCrafts. Somehow, it wasn't any more expensive. Unbelievably, it shipped quickly and arrived in just a few days. What a relief! And the new skein has blended right in with the first. Looking at it I have no idea where I joined. I highly recommend this beautiful yarn for its color, softness and gorgeous...
I am in love with this yarn. Great color saturation, and it pairs well with both fingering and dk weight. It is luxuriously soft and surprisingly easy to work with (though I've not used it on its own). It gives my projects just the right halo effect without being itchy.
This mohair is a dream! Just as great as Rowan KidSilk minus the exorbitant cost! I only wish they would sell it in 50g skeins for larger projects, but that's literally the only complaint I can find. Love it so much, and so do my customers!
Beautiful lace weight mohair/silk yarn. One ball, in her favourite colour, knitted a lace scarf as a gift for my friend.
Doesn’t pill…soft
I bought that yarn because i needed more of that one to knit with another yarn (a 2 strands project), but the cost was definitely too high with the US rate of change I had to pay. If I could have found it again here in Canada, i would have bought it here.
Very happy with the quality of this yarn. Great price as well. The colour was a perfect match, even to order online.
I love to combine this yarn with other smooth yarns. Great color range and very soft.
