Mohair is a luxurious and soft fiber by itself, but adding a touch of cashmere to the mix takes it to the next level while adding warmth for those bone chilling days of winter. Let’s just say, you’ll never experience a scarf this cozy and lightweight in any other yarn. The speckled fade in the Cashmere Merino Lace shines through the bright mohair like a field of wildflowers viewed through rose tinted glasses. There are countless ways to combine the yarns and get a stunning color effect because of that mohair haze. Colors blend together into a beautiful melange with a slow color fade. The softness, and sheerness of mohair create a shimmering quality. You’ll love the effect.

I’ve included a picture of the pure colors that I used for the fade. You can see how they are mellowed in the scarf. Keep this in mind when choosing colors and make sure you like the way the mohair mixes with your Fade Colors.

Advanced beginners and intermediate level knitters will be able to knit this project. There’s no purling, only knitting with a slipped stitch at the selvedge. The colorwork panel may require some concentration at first, but it’s easy to learn and memorize the row instructions.
