Shame, it looked like it could be super versatile! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leopard-print-cardi-composition#post-776489 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 19:21:00 +0000 Anonymous 776489@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another angora avoider here. It can feel like wearing a shedding cat. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leopard-print-cardi-composition#post-776380 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 17:36:38 +0000 Diana 776380@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I tend to avoid angora both in finished knits and in yarn because it not only sheds, it makes me sneeze because the little fibers go everywhere. Even a small percentage is too sheddy in my opinion, particularly if it is a light color because it leaves light fibers all over my dark coats and pants. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leopard-print-cardi-composition#post-776190 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 13:59:13 +0000 Linda 776190@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kirti,<br /> I love angora and wear it a lot in the winter. I've found that much of the shedding depends on the quality of the angora. I've had angora sweaters that shed like crazy and others that practically never shed. I think that it all depends on the quality of the angora. As a knitter, I choose high quality yarns, so when I knit with angora, shedding is never a problem. If I were you, I'd run my hand over the sweater a few times and see if it sheds in your hand. If it does, that's an indication that you'll have a sweater that sheds a lot. If not, go for it! As you said it's only a small percentage of angora, so you're probably OK!! (It's a really pretty sweater and looks like it will go with lots of outfits.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leopard-print-cardi-composition#post-776116 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 11:45:24 +0000 Suz 776116@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It sounds like fun to add a piece like this to your wardrobe. But I am sorry to say that I can't wear angora at all in any amount because it drives me bonkers with the shedding and hairs getting in my eyes and nose. I wear wool quite comfortably, for comparison. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leopard-print-cardi-composition#post-776108 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 11:32:49 +0000 Atlantia 776108@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry to say, I've had shedding angora problems as well....with a pair of socks. One way to check is to visit the store and see if the items on the rack next to it have been shed on. That does depend on how often the sales associates use a roller on the clothes, but it may be worth a try. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leopard-print-cardi-composition#post-776081 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 07:48:19 +0000 lyn* 776081@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooh; I had a hat that was around 10% angora and it shed like no-tomorrow. There were pink fuzz hairs all over my jacket all the time! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leopard-print-cardi-composition#post-776079 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 07:43:48 +0000 Kirti 776079@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>One of my favourite stores (from where I got my coat) is having a sale and this leopard cardi caught my eye. It is round neck, which is a cardi silhouette I don't really wear buy the print could liven up and 'go' with many items in my wardrobe. Plus, it is cropped so I'm hoping it will go with dresses as well.</p> <p>My only concern is the composition, it has 7% angora and I've heard that angora sheds a lot. Since it is not 100% angora, will it still shed a lot? Do you guys avoid angora sweaters?</p> <p>Thanks for helping </p>
