This recent skein is not alpaca. :)<br /><br />@Pinkundine: Oh, yes, the wonders of frogging mohair. I've definitely had a few sailor-talking moments, but I still love mohair. <br /><br />@Vivian: Isn't it just great! Handspun rocks.<br /><br />@Marushka: My wishing powers are on-again, off-again. In this instance, they were on. :)<br /><br />@Melissa: You know, that's a good question.

You'll also notice a big difference in handspun depending on the fiber being spun too.<br /><br />I'm glad you are getting more test knitters for the coffee cozy.
