When we saw this yarn, we fell in love. It is as simple as that!!! The construction of this yarn is ingenious, as it has a light nylon metallic thread used as a weaving binder working over and under multiple plies of a light, beautiful mohair. When all is worked in order, the end result is this incredible ribbon. WOW is about all you can say. An 11 or 13 needle keeps it very light.
