My Experience

Where I got it: I got it in a swag bag at a Knit Social retreat.

Needles I used: Hiya Hiya US 2/2.75 mm

Blocked Gauge I got: 28 sts/44 rows = 4"/10 cm

My Thoughts: This mohair/silk blend is such fun! I love that it's got that glowing shine paired with a super fuzzy halo. The fabric weighs nothing and is pretty transparent, but I know from experience that yarns like this are still very warm. I'm a big fan of the colour on this one too - just the perfect ethereal purple.

What I might design with it: I picture this as an elegant little cardi for wearing with a fancy dress.

Where you can get some: Check your local yarn shop. Online I found some of the colours at Firefly Fibers.
