I have not used that yarn as I find mohair too itchy but it sure is pretty!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-use-holst-titicaca-yarn#post-2345274 Thu, 23 Nov 2023 19:49:58 +0000 merwoman 2345274@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fellow knitter reporting in!<br />I don’t have any experience using Titicaca (honestly who could resist a yarn with such a great name!) but if I’m investigating a new to me yarn I will look it up on&nbsp;<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="https://yarnsub.com/yarns/holst_garn/titicaca">https://yarnsub.com/yarns/holst_garn/titicaca</a><br />and see what other yarns it compares to. Very helpful when considering substitutions and you’re wondering how well they will work.<br />I also check out the pattern I’m considering on Ravelery ( presume you may have joined this wonderful community of knitters?) and filter/search by yarn type to see if anyone else has used it and what the final result looks like.<br />Happy knitting! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anyone-use-holst-titicaca-yarn#post-2345260 Thu, 23 Nov 2023 15:36:35 +0000 Ket 2345260@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, <b>April</b>!

I am considering substituting a strand of Titicaca from Holst Garn for the mohair. But I’ve never used Titicaca before so I’m not sure what to expect other than it probably won’t be as fluffy as mohair. </p> <p>Thoughts and experiences? </p>
