September 28, 2000 We've reached the end of our monthlong exploration of mohair. You've learned about several brushed varieties, as well as a bulky synthetic blend for those fast-knit weekend sweaters. I'd like to finish up by exploring mohair that is blended with wool to provide additional sheen and softness. Most major yarn manufacturers offer such blends. I've reviewed what I consider to be among the best, Green Mountain Spinnery's Mountain Mohair. Best of the Fair Last weekend I attended the Common Ground Country Fair. I befriended a curious Finn sheep from Stone Brook Farm (featured on the Knitter's Review homepage). I was also lucky enough to meet Nanney Kennedy, who was featured in Candace Eisner Strick's Sweaters from New England Sheep Farms. I instantly fell in love with her Seacolors wool, which I review for you this week.
What's Next? This weekend I head to Killington, Vermont to see the fall leaves and scout out the Vermont Sheep and Wool Festival. Coming in October: Merino madness! Stay tuned.
