About the Yarn
This was my first time using mohair yarn, and honestly, it was much easier to work with than I expected.
The finished fabric feels:
- soft
- fluffy
- lightweight
- airy
- slightly fuzzy with beautiful texture
Adding the glitter fingering yarn gives the shrug a subtle sparkle and a more luxurious look.
