Mohair/ˈmoʊhɛər/ is usually a silk-like fabric or yarn made from the hair of the Angora goat.
Both durable and resilient, mohair is notable for its high luster and sheen, which has helped give it the nickname the "Diamond Fiber", and is often used in fiber blends to add these qualities to a textile. Mohair takes dye exceptionally well. Mohair is warm in winter as it has excellent insulating properties, while remaining cool in summer due to its moisture wicking properties. It is durable, naturally elastic, flame resistant and crease resistant. It is considered to be a luxury fiber, like cashmere, angora and silk, and is usually more expensive than most wool that comes from sheep.
Mohair is composed mostly of keratin, a protein found in the hair, wool, horns and skin of all mammals. While it has scales like wool, the scales are not fully developed, merely indicated. Thus, mohair does not felt as wool does.
Mohair fiber is approximately 25–45 microns in diameter. It increases in diameter with the age of the goat, growing along with the animal. Fine hair from younger animals is used for finer applications such as clothing, and the thicker hair from older animals is more often used for carpets and heavy fabrics intended for outerwear.
Bolero (1975-1986) was a dressage horse and an influential sire. He stood 16.1hands (65inches, 165cm).
Pedigree
Bolero was by the English Thoroughbred stallion Black Sky, who was imported to Germany in 1972. Black Sky was a grandson of the great stallion Djebel, who also sired the very influential My Babu, a stallion seen in many show jumpers and hunters pedigrees in the United States. Black Sky stood at the private stud farm of Schmidt-Ankum, and his offspring were generally talented dressage horses with good rideability, but with very little jumping talent.
Bolero's dam, Baroness, was registered with the Hanoverian Verband. She was half-Thoroughbred through her sire, the large-framed stallion Bleep. Her dam's side includes Hyperion, who in turn traces to Bay Ronald. The dam-sire of Baroness was the stallion Athos, who was known as a broodmare sire of dressage horses, and her damline (Athos-Fliegerstern) also produced the stallions Grenadier, Hitchcock, and Winner.
This breeding combination of a Thoroughbred stallion to a mare that was by a Thoroughbred was prohibited by the Hanoverian studbook at the time, due to the belief that the offspring would be unsuccessful.
Bolero, Sarajevo or shortened Bolero is the name of a theatre show produced by the East West Theatre Company from Bosnia and Herzegovina and Tala Dance Center from Croatia. Authors, choreographer Tamara Curic from Zagreb, Croatia and director Haris Pasovic, created a dance performance in which Sarajevo and choreography impressed with Maurice Béjart's work are in interaction. They were largely inspired by the flux of Sarajevo, Ravel’s music and 'Béjartesque' swinging bodies. Performance included dancers from Zagreb who regularly collaborate with the TALA Dance Centre, actors of the East West Theatre Company from Sarajevo, and the members of the Sarajevo National Theatre’s Ballet Company.
Haris Pasovic, Sarajevo theater director and drama professor at the Academy of Performing Arts, injected this predominantly dance production with occasional humorous monologues, in which the people of Sarajevo tell intimate stories about their post-war lives. This performance was created to commemorate the siege of Sarajevo during the Bosnian War.
Les Uns et les Autres is a 1981 French film by Claude Lelouch. The film is a musical epic and it is widely considered as the director's best work with Un Homme et une Femme. It won the Technical Grand Prize at the 1981 Cannes Film Festival. In the United States, it was distributed under the name Boléro in reference to Maurice Ravel's orchestral piece, used in the film. The film was very successful in France with 3,234,549 admissions and was the 6th highest grossing film of the year.
Plot
The film follows four families, with different nationalities (French, German, Russian and American) but with the same passion for music, from the 1930s to the 1980s. The various story lines cross each other time and again in different places and times, with their own theme scores that evolve as time passes.
In Moscow, 1936, an aspiring dancer Tatiana marries a man, Boris, who will give her a son just before he is killed during World War II. In Berlin, Karl Kremer’s success as a pianist is confirmed when he receives praise from Hitler – something which will haunt him throughout his life. In Paris, a young violinist Anne falls in love with a Jewish pianist, Simon Meyer; they marry and produce a son, but they end up on a train bound for a Nazi concentration camp. In New York, Jack Glenn is making his name with his popular jazz band. Twenty years on, their children are reliving their experiences, and Anne Meyer continues her hopeless quest to find the son she was forced to abandon.
Crochet (English pronunciation: /kroʊˈʃeɪ/;French:[kʁɔʃɛ]) is a process of creating fabric by interlocking loops of yarn, thread, or strands of other materials using a crochet hook. The name is derived from the French term "crochet", meaning small hook. These are made of materials such as metal, wood, or plastic and are manufactured commercially and produced in artisan workshops. The salient difference between crochet and knitting, beyond the implements used for their production, is that each stitch in crochet is completed before proceeding with the next one, while knitting keeps a large number of stitches open at a time. (Variant forms such as Tunisian crochet and broomstick lace keep multiple crochet stitches open at a time.)
Etymology
The word crochet is derived from the Old Frenchcrochet, a diminutive of croche, in turn from the Germaniccroc, both meaning "hook". It was used in 17th-century French lace making, crochetage designating a stitch used to join separate pieces of lace, and crochet subsequently designating both a specific type of fabric and the hooked needle used to produce it. Although that fabric is not known to be crochet in the present sense, a genealogical relationship between the techniques sharing that name appears likely.
In this video, I delve into common questions surrounding knitting with mohair yarn, drawing from my own experiences and insights. I address concerns about how mohair interacts with stitch patterns, its role in stabilizing Superwash wool, and the ethical considerations of mohair production. Throughout the discussion, I offer practical tips and guidance to help you navigate the world of mohair knitting with confidence. Whether you're an experienced knitter or just starting out, join me as I share valuable knowledge and inspiration for your next project.

Tips from the Dyeing Studio #6: Choosing a good mohair yarn pairing!
Today I’m chatting about the effects of solid/tonal mohair/Suri colorways paired with variegated “base yarns” in this episode of ‘Tips from the Dye Studio’. This is really just a stream of consciousness-style observation about how these pretty Mohair/suri pairings, though beautiful in skeins, squished up together in a bouquet of possibility, can actually create an effect that is unexpected and in some cases.... DISAPPOINTING. 😨😱. But never fear! I have ideas and a potential alternative that allows you to still create perfectly complimentary mohair/suri pairings that you’re sure to love.
Enjoy!

Tips for Knitting with Mohair Yarn
Eunny talks mohair, the hair of the angora goat, which is a unique yarn that is finer the younger the animal. Although beautiful, mohair can be difficult to knit with, so Eunny shares her tips for dealing with common mistakes: using a blunt knitting needle so the yarn is less likely to spilt, unknitting a project in mohair to fix mistakes as opposed to ripping stitches out, and a quick tip for brushing your projects to get the mohair to showcase itself for a designer look.

Eunny talks mohair, the hair of the angora goat, which is a unique yarn that is finer the younger the animal. Although beautiful, mohair can be difficult to knit with, so Eunny shares her tips for dealing with common mistakes: using a blunt knitting needle so the yarn is less likely to spilt, unknitting a project in mohair to fix mistakes as opposed to ripping stitches out, and a quick tip for brushing your projects to get the mohair to showcase itself for a designer look.

In this video, I delve into common questions surrounding knitting with mohair yarn, drawing from my own experiences and insights. I address concerns about how mohair interacts with stitch patterns, its role in stabilizing Superwash wool, and the ethical considerations of mohair production. Throughout the discussion, I offer practical tips and guidance to help you navigate the world of mohair knitting with confidence. Whether you're an experienced knitter or just starting out, join me as I share valuable knowledge and inspiration for your next project.

Welcome to the Wool Needles Hands Knitting Midweek Ramble. This is a place for me to ramble about other knitting//fiber//craft-related topics that just don't make it onto the knitting podcast episodes (usually for the sake of brevity).
In today's episode I'm sharing some alternatives to mohair as well as some more budget-friendly Kid Mohair/Silk options.

SAMIL Natural Fibres is an innovative South African company that specialises in the production and processing of natural fibres, as well as speciality spun yarns.
Today I’m chatting about the effects of solid/tonal mohair/Suri colorways paired with variegated “base yarns” in this episode of ‘Tips from the Dye Studio’. This is really just a stream of consciousness-style observation about how these pretty Mohair/suri pairings, though beautiful in skeins, squished up together in a bouquet of possibility, can actually create an effect that is unexpected and in some cases.... DISAPPOINTING. 😨😱. But never fear! I have ideas and a potential alternative that allows you to still create perfectly complimentary mohair/suri pairings that you’re sure to love.
Enjoy!
//Notes:
The sweater I'm knitting here is the No Frills Sweater by PetiteKnit in the colorways Sapphire (deep teal navy) on the Merino/Nylon 2-Ply Base and Angel Rust on the Kid Mohair/Silk base (both by Fiber for the People®)

Mohair/ˈmoʊhɛər/ is usually a silk-like fabric or yarn made from the hair of the Angora goat.
Both durable and resilient, mohair is notable for its high luster and sheen, which has helped give it the nickname the "Diamond Fiber", and is often used in fiber blends to add these qualities to a textile. Mohair takes dye exceptionally well. Mohair is warm in winter as it has excellent insulating properties, while remaining cool in summer due to its moisture wicking properties. It is durable, naturally elastic, flame resistant and crease resistant. It is considered to be a luxury fiber, like cashmere, angora and silk, and is usually more expensive than most wool that comes from sheep.
Mohair is composed mostly of keratin, a protein found in the hair, wool, horns and skin of all mammals. While it has scales like wool, the scales are not fully developed, merely indicated. Thus, mohair does not felt as wool does.
Mohair fiber is approximately 25–45 microns in diameter. It increases in diameter with the age of the goat, growing along with the animal. Fine hair from younger animals is used for finer applications such as clothing, and the thicker hair from older animals is more often used for carpets and heavy fabrics intended for outerwear.
