I have 6 different skeins of Mountain Color yarn. I bought this yarn before I knew anything about the yardage needed for a sweater. I will take a look at my stash , hmmmm, of kidsilk ...

I saw so many posts about sizing for this cardigan that I was really worried about knitting with two strands of mohair. If the size didn't turnout right, frogging mohair is a nightmare. So I ...
Good morning I have a request for a color. I'm looking for a deep dusty rose mauve color that isn't too pink
@Kim Doherty-Smith I purchased some felted tweed from the shop for the cc and I have an alpaca mix yarn in my stash. I just couldn't resist the colours. Thank you for being my enabler and dealer!
@Kate Sander Thanks for your kind words Kate! Now that we know we can rely on the tech (the tech crew was so great!), we are totally pumped to do it again!
@Judith Logan Junop Alpaca on its own does stretch quite a bit, but when blended with wool, the yarn has more elasticity - like a wool yarn. If you want a fabric that is not as drapey, look for a y...
@Sheila Sakraida Ha! Yes it is kind of addictive. We have been knitting the pattern with Garfield Grizzly or Selkirk Worsted. The pattern calls for 2 strands of the mohair with 1 strand of the wool...
Kim and Jen congratulations on a successful event. I’m sure it was a lot of work and I am sure you were probably very nervous about the technology but it came off without a hitch. I was...
@Bryndis Curtin Nope. I used a lot of different small amount of mohair yarn. Along with a lot of small amounts of fingering weight yarns.
@Judith Logan Junop I looked at the fiber content on Ravelry. There is 30% alpaca in felted tweed. It is a wonderful yarn with beautiful drape. I jus...
@Sheila Sakraida I never noticed that there was Alpaca in the Felted Tweed. I have a number of knitting friends who are also allergic to Alpaca. It's not my first choice to knit with because it str...
@Sheila Sakraida Beautiful! Did you use the same color mohair throughout?
@Bryndis Curtin I love adding mohair to another yarn. It makes the project warm without a lot of weight. I knit a Stephen West marled shawl and used mohair in it...
Just a crazy comment. I started the Earnhart shawl just before my new puppy Curly came to live with us. Do you think that I can find the yarn and shawl that I started? ...
I loved this presentation. It was so much fun to listen to Arne and Carlos. I ordered their books from Kim and Jennifer. I wish that I could knit with the Felted...
@Jennifer Doherty I am thinking about knitting this sweater. I haven't bought the pattern yet. Is the KidSilk Haze held with the aran yarn? I understand no...
I am swatching for L'Anse-Au-Loup. I had a lot of a sport weight yarn from a Fair Isle pattern that I wasn't happy with it. My Fair Isle section is spot on right now. ...
Thank you Kim and Jennifer for today's fantastic afternoon. I was on line and I so miss not being able to get home this year especially to the Island. I remember going to harness racing at the trac...
@Jacqui Martell It looks great!
@Susan Clouston the pattern has been a big hit! I foresee lots of Flip Mittens everywhere! Thanks for such a wonderful pattern Susan!
