Making the most of a beautiful fibre

This book is a wonderful source for people who aren't sure of the best way to show off mohair's inherent qualities. It has basic patterns that you can knit, plus a very useful stitch dictionary that shows how various stitches look knit with mohair. I find it it to be an indispensible resource for people who would like to design their own mohair garments
