Elsebeth Lavold Angora
Angora
Elsebeth Lavold
60% Angora, 20% Wool, 20% Polyamide
50g = 91 yds.
Gauge: 17 sts /4" on US 7-8 needles
My Color: 026 Citric
My Source: Knit Stop, Indianapolis, IN
I expected this yarn to be limpy and wimpy, as some angora yarns can be. However, it was surprisingly robust. It made a nice, thick swatch, and I can definitely see it in a very cozy cardigan, or a hat and gloves for a nice warm winter set.

I just made a hat in this yarn. I was googling it to find a link for my blog and found your yarn swatch blog. Thanks for sharing with everyone!
My crocheted hat is up for others considering this angora. I used lime green and midnight blue.
