Customer Reviews
So smooth to work with!
J’aime bien ce mohair pour le doubler avec une laine de grosseur fingering. Cette laine est très abordable donc parfaite pour les projets nécessitant de doubler ou alterner avec une autre laine.
Belle fibre facile a tricotée
It's a very good quality silk mohair to pair with other yarns. The yarn is at a good price point vis a vis its quality. It has also a good range of colorways that go well with other yarns to pair with. Highly recommended.
Superbe laine de qualité
