Being in Jamaica and doing crochet/knitting isn't easy as I have limited options regarding the types of yarn or thread I have access to here locally. I have been yearning to try some of the different types of yarn that I see online or in my Facebook groups. I have visited so many of the yarn websites and for the most part, they don't ship to my homeland Jamaica. The ones who do, shipping is way too much. I am used to Redheart yarns (even though they don't ship here when I tried their website) as that's what my retailer sells and she still doesn't supply all their yarns.
It was while watching one of Creative Grandma's (Glenda Winkleman) yarn reviews that I learnt about Ice Yarns. I visited their website (www.iceyarns.com) and even though it's not free shipping and you have to buy in bulk it is somewhat affordable and ships right to my door. I made my first order to try it out.
My order came in about 4 weeks (you do have the option of express shipping). It was exactly what I ordered even though, honestly, I didn't know what I ordered.
But! What was kid mohair anyways?
These are fine and they weren't crochet thread, get out of here.
Ok, you have new yarn, soft yarn, what are you going to make, 🤔 idk! Then the opportunity came 😀😁... The founder of my favourite Facebook group was looking for test knitters for her pencil skirt and I volunteered.
The baby fine is really easy to work with, it knits well and the finish is great as well.
Now, there was the "kid mohair", what am I going to make with this thin fuzzy yarn🤔🤔. I have no clue.....
Two months pass and still had no clue what to make... I tried a suggestion "use it with a thicker yarn together"
A few weeks pass and Petra Breakstone posted in her FB group "Yarnz2go Groupies" for an "All Petra Design KAL (knit along) / CAL (crochet along). I thought this couldn't hurt, secondly, I'll be rewarded with patterns (now who doesn't love free patterns). Which yarns will I use? And it hits me, why not use two skeins of the kid mohair, together 🤔🤔. So I did.....

Baby fine (looks familiar, just thinner than I'm used to)
