Soft and high quality for cardigans
I like the softness and quality. I used it for a cardigan. It is not itchy. I blocked it with a lanolin cleanser. It’s very light and warm.

Golden halo, golden shipping
I was in the middle of my sweater and ran out of the yellow to do the color work flowers. I'm in the US and couldn't find a store that had it. I snapped it up immediately when I saw it on LoveCrafts. Somehow, it wasn't any more expensive. Unbelievably, it shipped quickly and arrived in just a few days. What a relief! And the new skein has blended right in with the first. Looking at it I have no idea where I joined. I highly recommend this beautiful yarn for its color, softness and gorgeous...
This mohair silk lace weight works-up beautifully held with a fingering/sock yarn to make soft, warm hats. The price makes it a good value. I have made a sweater with this yarn held - 3-stranded. . . very elegant and not too difficult to care-for.
An all around lovely experience.
I am in love with this yarn. Great color saturation, and it pairs well with both fingering and dk weight. It is luxuriously soft and surprisingly easy to work with (though I've not used it on its own). It gives my projects just the right halo effect without being itchy.
Great Selection/Easy Processing/Quick Delivery
This mohair is a dream! Just as great as Rowan KidSilk minus the exorbitant cost! I only wish they would sell it in 50g skeins for larger projects, but that's literally the only complaint I can find. Love it so much, and so do my customers!
Mohair and silk blend, fairly priced and excellent to work with.
Luxurious yarn, easy to work with, carries light because of the silk, very strong and doubles easily.
Valley yarns are probably the best quality yarns I have ever tried. Their mohair is super soft and comes in the nicest colours.
great service, fast shipping - would highly recommend
I love this yarn and have used it in many projects. Great price and colour selection. Wonderful with lace or fingering weight yarns.
One of my favourite shops
This mohair is so soft and the colour is amazing. I did originally think for a scarf but now I am thinking to combine with another wool to make a sweater. Decisions! Maybe i'll just have to do both!!
Excellent value for money
Beautiful lace weight mohair/silk yarn. One ball, in her favourite colour, knitted a lace scarf as a gift for my friend.
