Mohair Bias Loop Using ITO Sensai and Kin Gin

The Design

“A soft, shimmering cloud.”

Sometimes, all it takes is a little something around the neck and shoulders to warm you up. A timeless favorite, the Mohair Bias Loop adds just the right amount of comfort and elegance to your wardrobe. Worn twisted double as a cowl or around your shoulders as a wrap, this loop is equally talented at dressy and casual.

We knit a softly shimmering Mohair Bias Loop holding ITO Sensai and Kin Gin together throughout. Where Sensai is a sensational lace-weight strand of 60% mohair and 40% silk, Kin Gin is a glittering, lace-weight blend of viscose and polyester. Kin Gin’s jewel-like glitter is softened by the ever-so-pretty fuzz of Sensai!
