I have recently started knitting with Wagtail 100% Mohair 4ply yarn and enjoying every moment of it. I have had a few hiccups and froggings upon first starting up.....all because of my own cockiness.
Mohair comes from the Angora goat and is known for the high luster and softness. It also has similar warming and felting characteristics as wool. Wagtail yarns are produced in Queensland, Austrailia.
Knitting with 100% mohair is slipperier than I was prepared for and combined with Signature needles made it ripe for frogging. After a couple of incidents, I switched over to Addi Lace needles which has made all the difference.
I am loving this yarn, perhaps it should be called "Tail-Wagging" instead of Wagtail. I do apologize for the corn.
I can't wait to finish this project and parade it around town. I figure it should be complete just in time for the autumn chill. What could be better than wearing a mohair wrap and sipping a pumpkin spice latte......
OH NO......don't get me started on pumpkin spice latte ....... or pumpkin muffins ......or anything pumpkin......except pumpkin pie, have never been a fan of pumpkin pie, odd right?
