I love your choices ❤

I really like Sandnes Garn Tynn Line for a summer project, it also has a sheen ❤

I really like Woolfolk Fleck. Thanks for all the yarn suggestions.

So nice to have cheaper recommendations like Drops and my favourite go-to Järbo MellanRaggi as well as the luxury brands like Isager and KfO Pure Silk which l dream of trying!

[@woolandbeyond]

glad to hear! yarns can definitely be sooo expensive, and I totally get that not everyone can spend 2000 sek on a sweater... sometimes it's nice to treat yourself, but there are so many great options at different price ranges :)

I enjoyed your recommendations! My favourite silk mohair is a tie between Isager and Krea Deluxe. I find the Krea to be less fluffy but more shiny. I've just started knitting a sweater in Emilia & Philomene yarns Daphne (merino and silk and it's the softest shiniest yarn I've ever used!), and Ms Phillipon (50% merino 50% cotton).

Really enjoying your podcast and designs! I'll be visiting Malmö in April and would appreciate any yarn store suggestions. I can get Knitting for Olive (mutual favourite) and some Drops locally, but want to explore Isager, Gepard and other Scandinavian yarns I can otherwise only mail order from here. Thanks! And good luck with the book!

[@woolandbeyond]

thanks! and cool that you're coming to malmö! however, the yarn stores here are not really my faves... I love to shop online since I can do it when I'm waiting for the kids to fall asleep etc, but if I were to go to a yarn shop I'd definitely take the 20 min train to Copenhagen! the yarn shops there are a lot nicer and has a lot more variety!

i'd love to see a video talking about different brands of mohair you've tried and compare them. as a fairly new knitter i just went for drops because it's so talked about but would love to branch out

[@woolandbeyond]

oooh, I can definitely do that at some point! thanks for the suggestion

I am looking at starting the Beyond Basic Sweatshirt soon and am wondering if you know the number for the mohair color you have used. I love your combination!

Melody- very light, verrry warm and I enjoy wearing it but it shrinks after blocking! Would live to learn how to prevent it.

[@woolandbeyond]

wow, that's great info! hmm, like I said - I'd love to try it! I saw that koutovakika likes to hold it with a strand of silk mohair, don't remember why, but maybe it could have something to do with that?

[@mikina8888]

⁠@@woolandbeyond If I understood correctly she used silk mohair to give some shine and dimension to the fabric, although Melody surely don’t lack dimension 😂, yes its not that shiny. For next season Im hoping to solve this problem so I can make more of that gorgeous warm cuddly fluff. Please keep us posted on your channel when you will have experience with this yarn.
