They also sell bags of their dyed, blended mohair fiber, also super fun to work with, if you spin or felt.</p>http://delishnews.tumblr.com/post/12030345504http://delishnews.tumblr.com/post/12030345504Fri, 28 Oct 2011 08:56:31 -0400yarncraftcrochetmittensyellow dog farmmohairwoolwinterVTdelishdesigntrish weill
