A wee mohair bouclé in subtle and wonderful plant colors
Each packet of Habu Textiles 1/4 Mohair Loop Kusaki Zome contains 62yd/0.5oz, 81% mohair, 9% wool, 10% nylon. All by itself, 1/4 Mohair Loop will knit up to a scrumptious garter stitch shawl or stole using about a size 4.5mm/US 7 needle. See the photo to the side as proof of this fast and delictable result.
*****
This classic mini-bouclé leaps beyond being simply an extraordinarly high quality specialty yarn (notice the low, low amount of nylon, the high, high amount of mohair and the body-boosting pinch of wool). When Habu combines this excellent bouclé with colors as beautifully understated as these, well, you have something rare and wonderful. All by itself, you can quickly make an enfolding wrap for yourself or a friend. When stranded with a smooth yarn (try 1/5 Silk Roving or 2/10 Kusaki Zome), the counterpoints of texture will transport its possibilities into an entirely new dimension, and your needles and heart will follow.
