Really impressed with your knitting. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/finished-knitting-a-sweater/page/2#post-2270638 Sat, 09 Jul 2022 01:02:25 +0000 Joyce B 2270638@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the info, SF. Your sweater looks like it is made from quality yarn.<br /> It has some fab fibers. Interesting that mixing mohair with silk makes it less itchy, but also your yarn has kid mohair which comes from baby angora goats and is finer/thinner than adult angora mohair yarn and is very soft and not itchy.<br /> Your next projects sound exciting, too.<br /> Have fun and please share the results.<br /> I think I will get back to knitting soon </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/finished-knitting-a-sweater/page/2#post-2270581 Fri, 08 Jul 2022 20:41:03 +0000 Staysfit 2270581@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Joyce B. &nbsp;It’s made with two yarns from Shibui. &nbsp;<div><br /></div><div>I used Shibui Cima, a lace weight yarn composed of 70% Superbaby Alpaca &nbsp;and 30% Fine Merino. &nbsp;The fuzzy sections use the Cima plus Shibui Silk Cloud a lace weight yarn which has 60% kid mohair and 40% silk. &nbsp;<div><br /></div><div>I always thought mohair would feel itchy however, I have recently been told that mohair mixed with silk is not itchy. &nbsp;It seems true with this yarn. &nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>The pattern calls for fingering weight yarn…Shibui Pebble, which has 48% recycled silk, 36% fine merino and 16% cashmere. &nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/finished-knitting-a-sweater/page/2#post-2270506 Fri, 08 Jul 2022 15:10:11 +0000 Angie 2270506@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>WOW!!!

Fabulous. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/finished-knitting-a-sweater/page/2#post-2270484 Fri, 08 Jul 2022 14:02:07 +0000 Joyce B 2270484@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Returning to add that the yarn that you used also looks lovely. What is the yarn composition? It reminds me a little of musk ox yarn (from the undercoat) which looks lovely and is soft and extra warm. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/finished-knitting-a-sweater/page/2#post-2270482 Fri, 08 Jul 2022 13:26:20 +0000 Aquamarine 2270482@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, it’s beautiful!
