Note: For the sleeves and cuffs you will need to use the magic loop method when using size US 17 (12 mm) circular needles 32’’ (80 cm). To avoid magic loop for the sleeves, you will need to use additional size US 17 (12 mm) circular needles 20” (50 cm) or a set of size US 17 (12 mm) DPNs.
Note: A tapestry needle may be helpful when seaming and securing all loose ends.
Care: Dry clean or hand wash cold, lay flat to dry. Please test any washing/drying method on a small swatch to ensure you like the end result. As with any soft chunky natural fiber, some shedding will occur. For further information and tips, please consult our Fiber Care Guide.
Yarn made in Italy, kit assembled in the USA.
*Due to delicate nature of mohair fiber, some shedding may occur.
Shown in Lilac (S), Gold (S), Like A Virgin (S), and Tiramisu (M).
