Angora linen sweater b.jpg
I had a lot of white angora yarn, but not enough for an entire sweater.  I finally decided to create this sweater using the 100% angora for the bodice and 100% linen for the off-the-shoulder sleeves.  To give it some more panache, I added the knitted bobble clusters of grapes made out of the linen with angora leaves and vines.  It looks fabulous with a long black skirt and a strand of pearls.

This is the second sweater with a similar design.  I wound 3 strands of medium red cotton yarn to a strand of darker red 100% mercerized cotton yarn along with a very thin, thread like strand of soft red kid mohair yarn.  This sweater LOOKS like it is wool, but in actuality it is 90%+ cotton.  The thread of mohair gives it that “fuzzy wool” look.
