Show and tell: mohair magic.

Back with more show and tell! We love the fuzzy halo of mohair, and the magical way it can enhance whatever yarn it’s paired with. Here are some recent projects folks have made with mohair from HYS.

Linda has been on a “Sophie Scarf” streak – here’s one she made holding Malabrigo Caprino and Isager Silk Mohair together. This enchanting combination shows how even high contrast colors can blend together when one of the yarns is lace weight mohair, letting the thicker speckled yarn shine through. Pattern by PetiteKnit.

Here’s Hyesol in her “Sweater No. 29,” knit with Isager Jensen and Silk Mohair held together – thanks for modeling a mohair sweater in this summer heat, Hyesol!

The combination of sturdy Jensen and soft Silk Mohair is perfect for a cozy sweater, and this butter yellow color shows off the cable pattern beautifully. Pattern by My Favorite Things Knitwear.

Margaretta knit this “Helli” slipover with another blend of rustic and soft – Kelbourne Woolens Cricket and Malabrigo Mohair. Pattern by Tiia Reho.

Here’s a close up with the yarn she used, so you can see the ingredients in this unique combination, a single ply tweed and a hand-dyed mohair/silk – we love the result!

Stephanie made this “FairTee,” blending Hand Maiden Superkid Silk and Berroco Ultra Wool DK. The low contrast color combination of a pale speckled mohair and a solid cream wool creates an elegant, subtle colorway well suited to the pattern by Trine Knitwear.

Thanks to Linda, Hyesol, Margaretta, and Stephanie for sharing your mohair magic with us!
