Kaleidoscope’s rating = KKKKK
Skin softness : 5 /5– Easy to wear against the skin if you don’t have problems wearing mohair yarns.
Colour palette: 5/5 – amazing palette of very wearable soft natural tones.
Pattern usage : 5 /5 – many patterns use fine mohair, and it’s great used in combination with other yarns especially 4 ply yarns, to add softness & bulk without weight!
Value for money: 5 /5 – 225m and 30% silk, a fine to medium thickness.
Wear and tear: 5 /5 – fine lace yarns all require gentle washing and treatment, silk mohair will still look and feel great years later if treated with care.
