Knit with Le Petit Silk & Mohair by itself or combine a strand of it with a strand of Le Petit Lambswool and you'll have a project that is dreamy soft with a gentle halo to it. There are many wonderful patterns that use this technique including the Ranunculus by Midori Hirose & Circe by Natasja Hornby (Linked patterns are available on Ravelry.)
I was slow to get on the mohair knitting band wagon. But now that I've started I want to knit more with it. I'm knitting the "Stockholm Slipover" by PetiteKnit. I've paired it with Shetland wool (which is a little scratchy) and I think it's makes a beautiful soft fabric.

I'm so pleased with this yarn, it feels incredible, and the colors are luscious.
