Soft Gratté (vegan mohair)- Cool tones
A word from the designer:
Soft Gratté is a delicate yarn with a felted appearance, but without animal fibres in its composition. Knit winter garments and accessories with a subtle felted look on circular needles. If you have sensitive skin that is irritated by natural yarns, you can create knitted projects with a Mohair appearance, but without experiencing any possible discomfort or alergic reactions.

Our Opinion
This is one of those yarns that impressed me right away. I had to have it. It's soft, fluffy and really does look and feel like mohair, minus the itchyness. It feels and looks luxurious.
Then I was a little dumb and picked the darkest colour for my test project. If you're a beginner knitter - pick one of the lighter colours! Picking up stitches with the fluff and a dark colour was a challenge.
The end result however is wonderful. This cardigan is soft, warm, beautiful and now that it's done, I kind of want to immediately start another Soft Gratté project. In a nice, light colour...
