I have a couple of skeins/part used hand-wound balls of Colinette Mohair in shade Summer Berries. I wound them into cakes, when it then became obvious that there was a lot of difference between the skeins. This is normal and expected with Colinette yarns and there are even instructions on the band that states this fact and to alternate between two or more skeins when working with them. One is very very light, one is dark and then the part skein is even darker than the second one!
The pattern that I am working has a standard length of 118 rows, which is what I worked. I worked only with the two darkest skeins and alternated between them every two pattern repeats. The yarn is 78% Mohair, 13% Wool, 9% Nylon
I didn't take any work-in-progress photos but I did hold it up against the light for an interesting stained glass effect.
