Join me as we discuss the pros and cons of using mohair silk lace-weight yarn and suri silk lace-weight yarn in your knitting projects. We'll explore how these beautiful natural fibers can create a fuzzy halo, while also touching on why one fiber or the other might be the better choice for you. I have a link below for a knitting tutorial on swatching to help you decide if mohair or suri is the right choice for your next sweater knitting project, considering its impact on your knitting stitches and overall knitting experience.
