I am currently knitting issue 5’s ‘city of angels’ angelique cardigan. My local wool shop is selling mohair for £1 a ball at the moment so I have stocked up. They have every colour imaginable, so I have picked a deep purple colour and I am using lime green for the edging. Looking good so far.

Welcome to the forum.That is cheap for mohair,i dont like knitting it and it makes me sneeze,cant wait to see the cardigan when its finished.
yeah it is cheap, reckon i can do the whole thing for about £8!! i’m not so much sneezing, more coughing. i think i must be eating it as i knit, it is tickling the back of my throat!!

My mum used to knit with it and eating it,but i heard if you put it in the fridge in a bag overnight when you use it,it should not go everywhere.Dont know if its right as i have never tried it.
Hi Rets
I look forward to seeing the finished creation too!

I’ve tried it ... it works for about half an hour (or until the yarn comes to room temperature, then it’s fluffy again. However, I think mohair is supposed to be better than angora! I did a weeny bolero and was vaccumming for ages after ... seemed to shed more hair than my cat, lol!

Some people swear by it working,i hate knitting it and i agree it sheds more hair than an animal,horrible stuff is mohair.
i came face to face with mealworm this afternoon, so i cannot be complained at for a little mohair!!
Nearly wet my chair then!!!! Yes, you have the right to put ANYthing in your fridge, lol.
I’m just about to start a mohair/merino mix, so it’s got all the soft and silky qualities, but not quite so flyaway. I love all natural fibres ... it’s only 100% genuine hardcore acrylic that I hate. I did try bamboo, and it’s pretty and shiny, but the end result was disappointing and I’ve heard it doesn’t wear too well.
hhmm haven’t quite got to grips with the quote thing!!
