    Love it. I am a crocheter and I didn't realize we avoid luxury yarns like the plague but now that you mention it it rings true. I recently bought some myself to break away from the acrylics and cotton. I have mohair but I don't think I have enough for a sweater like this. May try it on a smaller scale! Maybe a crop top sweater 😂

    Beautiful! We had mohair sweaters in the 60s! Girls also used mohair yarn to wrap around our boy friends class rings when we wore their rings.We called it "going steady" And then brushed the fuzz out with a toothbrush.

  • @nicolem376
    @nicolem376 3 года назад +3

    This reminds me very much of a Dorthe Skappel Norwegian sweater. If you don’t know it, it’s an oversized boxy sweater made with two strands of fine yarn held together, one being mohair or a fuzzy natural fiber, usually knit on larger needles than normal . It’s an iconic pattern (more a recipe) in the knitting community based on a recipe that actress Dorthe Skappel created for her daughter. I thought you might want to google images. I have searched for a crochet version of a Skappel sweater forever because I don’t knit larger garments that often. I think your yarn choice has made the perfect sweater. I’m going to try this with some of my expensive yarn stash I’ve been hoarding for years. THANKYOU ❤️

    Idk if this method would work but I’m going to write it anyways.
    When working the collar I would have worked through the front stitches only leaving the back stitches unworked that way I could have slipped stitched the collar closed instead of doing a whip stitch.
    I may try this method on the next sweater I make but definitely not with mohair! Just seeing how tiny that yarn was made me nervous haha but it came out absolutely gorgeous! Good job!!

    • @knitwithkali
      @knitwithkali  3 года назад +3

      Ohhhh that’s a really good method! I will definitely try that with a heavier yarn because I think if I do it with mohair, it wouldn’t have a great foundation or be strong enough to hold the collar up. But I will give this a try with maybe wool! Thank you so much!

    @Violet-fj3lr 3 года назад +2

    I remember my first time in a local yarn store I got told by the owner that I should just learn to knit and give up on crochet because it wasn't worth learning. It made me feel unwelcome there compared to a big box store so it took me a lot longer to discover luxury fibers. That sort of attitude might be contributing to why crocheters don't typically use high-end fibers.

    • @knitwithkali
      @knitwithkali  3 года назад +1

      Awww wow that’s so rude to say! Yeah I feel most luxury fiber brands only cater to knitters, making crocheters believe they can’t use “knitting yarn”.

  • @leagaillard755
    @leagaillard755 3 года назад +1

    I've been trying to branch out and use wool, alpaca etc more, but to be honest the reason I (and I think quite a few other crocheters as well) don't use mohair is that I simply can't afford it unless someone pays the price for a commission? I would love to try out more natural fibers but they are, as you said, luxury fibers, and mohair in particular is so thin that you need a lot of it to complete a piece.

    • @knitwithkali
      @knitwithkali  3 года назад +3

      That totally makes sense! There are some great cheaper alternatives for mohair and other natural fibers on Hobbii, like its Diablo Mohair, which is an acrylic blend and is usually around $3-$5. I’ve heard people say it feels very close to the usual mohair silk blend, so maybe that could be worth checking out! ☺️

    • @knitwithkali
      @knitwithkali  3 года назад

      Yes, the yarn you use affects how bulky your sweater will be. So if you use thinner yarn, like lace, fingering, or sport weight yarn, your sweater will be significantly less bulky than if you used worsted and up.

    It's funny, but when I first learnt to crochet I actually had mohair yarn and the sweater I made is one of the few things from back then I still wear. It's very open and airy because I used a big hook (5mm) and I love wearing on top of colourful shirts so it really shows off the stitch pattern. I used tulip stitch, btw.airy

      I used around 8 skeins of each color (16 total), but it could vary for each person depending on the size they want to make/body size. And same, that’s why I always get more than I need just in case, lol.

      she used abt 325g but mohair is very lightweight, with acrylic you may need about 800g, but the factor you should be looking at would be yardage because that remains relatively the same regardless of sweater fiber.
