Eloise is a mohair and silk duo that creates a fluffy halo to any work and is one of HOKOHOKO’s long time faaaaavourites. Use single for lace weight garments, held double for extra fluff or pair it with your best fibre base to add a fuzzy halo effect.

Eliza’s notes:

Try pairing a single strand of mohair/silk (m&s) lace to a solid colour base and you’ll be surprised by how much colour this unassuming silky strand can offer. Play with colourful m&s to a light base if you want this material to really shine. Or use m&s to soften or tint your base. The combinations are endless! The only catch to this blend of mohair/silk is that while it’s got great tensile strength for its weight, it does have a lot of fluff due to its natural fibre content (meaning fibre stragglers may catch in your hair, shirt, pants, nose, eyelashes [it’s happened], etc.). Though, it is still one of Eliza’s tried and true favourites!

Good things to know:

Using great hand-dyed yarns come with great responsibilities. Just kidding. But there are some things we want you to know:

• Each skein is coloured with care in a ‘hand-dye’ process, meaning we apply colour to each skein of yarn by hand. Variegations and irregularities can occur even if fibres are treated in the same dye lot or batch. All skeins are unique!

• We suggest purchasing enough yarn for your project use and alternate skeins for even colouring.

• Care: we recommend hand-washing cool, squeeze or spin dry and dry flat. 

• We photograph our products in a light controlled environment and we try our best to display colour accuracy that are true to each batch. Please note that colours can still translate differently between monitors.
