Hand spun yarn using Alberta mohair. We get the mohair from a local farm. We wash it several times, and hand-dye it. This yarn was spun on my spinning wheel using a cotton and rayon thread. There is a subtle amount of copper-colored Angelina sprinkled in occassionally to add sparkle. It's a pretty, one-of-a-kind yarn.
The skeins in the photo are all from the same batch of mohair. I love spinning mohair. I think it's my favorite yarn. I enjoy the creativity of spinning it and the little curls in it.
