Spinning Kid Mohair Locks


Being a spinner/knitter I cringe at the thought of acrylic yarn but really like the look of the furry novelty yarns... here is my acrylic-free version. This is dyed kid mohair locks, spun "Z", then plied "S" with a silk thread, and plied again "Z" with silk thread. I washed the yarn and gave it a good whack while it was still wet to help it "bloom", brushed it up with a soft bristled brush and hung it to dry.... What a fun yarn to spin and knit with!!

You need to call this yarn "Celebration" It's looks like a celebration....It looks beautiful and soft.
