I see a beautiful shawl (possibly Icarus??) from that yarn - you know, if you want to divest yourself of the mohair habit. :D I’m willing to step up, make the sacrifice, and take that purple mohair off your hands.

Do you have a really big house to keep it all in? 'Cause that's what it would take. Just warning you... Monica, maybe that's why I've never knitted up all my mohair--I'm a somewhat fluffy person myself. And you know those dire warnings we're always hearing about fluffy yarns adding pounds... Oh, what the hell, I think we should just go for it. Damn the torpedoes! Full speed ahead! Oh, thanks Leanne! Do you have a really big house to keep it all in? ‘Cause that’s what it would take.

You must get rid of all of it. All of it, I tell you. And as much as it would pain me to do so, I would agree to take it all. Only to help you of course. I have your best interest at heart. Really.

Really, not a pretty sight. I myself have 2 (I think) big bags of Paton's mohair, about 900 yds/bag, white, that I got on sale about 25 years ago. They're just waiting for the perfect project. Which as a very fluffy person, takes some thinking. (Slight understatement there, considering precisely how *long* I've been 'thinking'.) I mean, one does not want to emphasize the fluffiness too tremendously, or one may have harpooners following. Especially if one leaves said mohair white, instead of having a dyeing orgy. But mohair is so delectable! And I was less fluffy in those days. ;) Y’know, pix like this just leave me sitting at the computer drooling, thinking, “OHyum…” Really, not a pretty sight.
