Example E using Sample #22, crocheted
Other Fibers: Example E
I chose the mohair (sample #22, animal fiber, hair type) for
this example. This boufle yarn can be knitted, woven or crocheted. When I have a
choice, I always crochet, in this instance the boufles are accented more with crochet than
with knit or weave. The swatch comes alive with the animated bumps. Such a
whimsical sweater could be made from this yarn. The yarn is soft enough for
garments, has plenty of body and will be very warm but lightweight.
The swatch was single crocheted with size J aluminum crochet
hook. It was washed and blocked. I suggest washing the finished garment in
Ivory liquid, herbal vinegar rinse and block dry. Occasionally use a small amount of
fabric softener to cut down on static and felting. Store in a cedar chest or
somewhere away from moths.
