Comments about Juniper Moon Farm Willa:
I had the pleasure of knitting one of the trunk show samples with Willa--lucky me! Willa is beautiful to knit with, responds well to frogging, washes well and dries fluffy. Texture shines through. I would suggest using a slightly smaller needle size: 10 or 10.5 rather than 11--slightly firmer texture without diminishing soft, squishy character of yarn.
- Recommended:
- Use smaller needle to pick up bands, etc.

Comments about Juniper Moon Farm Willa:
I am currently knitting a sweater with Willa and it has been an absolute joy to work with. It's so soft and the color is just beautiful. Despite some fiddly stitches in the pattern, the yarn holds together wonderfully--no splitting. It even hold up well to repeated frogging. My only quibble is that I'll sometimes feel like I've got fiber stuck in the back of my throat after knitting. This is my first experience with mohair, and I'm pretty sure I've been spoiled.
