Knitting a cloud
Mohair is known for its softness and luxurious appearance, but it can also be itchy for some individuals, even though it's generally considered smoother than traditional wool. This is because mohair fibers can be coarse and some individuals react to the texture of the fibers. This itchiness can vary greatly from person to person, with some finding it perfectly comfortable while others find it unbearable. If you find mohair itchy, there are several things you can try to reduce the discomfort, including washing it with specific products, layering it with other fabrics, or even choosing a different type of mohair.
However, you can also try different blends like the New Prime from Cardiff Cashmere. Prime is a luxurious blend of cashmere and mulberry silk offering you the fineness of mohair but a kiss to the skin that cashmere feels. It can be used both as a companion thread alongside other yarns and individually for very special projects.
Incredibly soft and light next to the skin, but with enough fluff to offer some insulation. It really must be tried to be believed. Have you thought what it would be to knit a cloud?
