Mohair is a magnet.

I grew up watching my Mom knit exquisite suits, sweaters, and coats. One fiber struck me as especially luxurious and exotic: mohair. I was enchanted when Mom wore a mohair sweater.


Lake Nipissing, Ontario, July 1964. Mom used red and green angora to stitch flowers onto the beige, mohair sweater. I earlier posted a few images of Mom wearing the same sweater here.
