Cast On Stitches with mohair

Casting on is your very first step — it creates the foundation stitches you'll knit into. Once you've got the right number of stitches on your needle, you're ready to start knitting. Practice a few times until it feels comfortable; a relaxed grip makes all the difference. In this video we use 2 strands of MYPZ Chunky kidmohair DK held together.

Bind off with mohair

Binding off finishes your work and locks your stitches in place, so they don't unravel. It's the final step for any project — simple to do, and satisfying to see your piece come together. But not too tight! In this video we use 2 strands of MYPZ Chunky kidmohair DK held together.

Let's get creative!

Tie mohair yarn together

Mix & Match colors according to your own wishes/no rules. Always use 2 strands of 2 different colors. Use different lengths for each color and tie them together. You're going to tie a lot of threads together. In this video we explain how to do that. For the color change we use a method so you don't have to weave in all the ends!
