Frequently asked questions
Do I double the displayed mohair metres?
No. The table already gives the combined total for the two strands. Hold two strands together but purchase the displayed amount once.
How much extra mohair is needed for long sleeves?
Allow an extra 212 m of Tynn Silk Mohair in total for every size, converted from the designer’s additional yarn allowance. This is additional to the standard-version table.
