Note: For the cuffs you will need to use magic loop method when using size US 17 (12 mm) circular needles 32’’ (80 cm). To avoid magic loop for cuffs you will need to use an additional set of size US 17 (12 mm) double pointed needles (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 (M), Gold (L), and Shameless Pink (S).
