  This is one of my favorite yarns from ice. It is a blend of mohair, acrylic, and nylon.  The other two additions insure that the yarn has strength without having to be spun too tightly.  Tightly spun mohair makes a harsh yarn. This is soft and delightful. Makes absolutely gorgeous items.  It's a fine weight yarn and would make a beautiful sweater, hat, mittens, or scarf. I like making shawls out of it.
