According to the receipt, I paid 35,000 lira for seven 20 gram skeins of “BMS Mohair, #4 Kid” while passing some yarn shop in Pisa, Italy. I haven’t been to Pisa recently, so I know this yarn has been maturing in the stash for at least 7 years.
It’s very yummy looking, a vibrant red.
The label informs me this is “shade F23″ and there are 90 meters to a ball. This is not a lot of yarn! I think that’s probably why I never knit the yarn. I just don’t believe there is enough for a sweater, and I don’t want to turn it into a beret.
You already know I plan to make a capelet. I’ll be casting on near the neck and knitting down. Hopefully, this will be more than a collar! But, if it becomes a collar, that’s ok too.
