Yarn:
Kobuk is knit holding 2 yarns together- one DK weight merino wool and one lace weight mohair to create a super-soft, warm fabric with a lovely halo. As Q Mohair can be hard to find, I suggest Rowan Kidsilk Haze as an alternative. It can also be knit in worsted weight, as was successfully done by some of the testers.Sample uses:
