woo ....omg, that's sooo expensive. I haven't experienced the 'itchy' thing. Perhaps it's just me, my skin can handle it but it might be the type of mohair you've been using too(?)
My ex partner's parents have an Angora goat farm and her mother spins the wool which I've used to knit things. Sweaters and scarves. I still know them as friends and get all the mohair free of charge.
If you like, email me with details and I can send you the mohair, for free. Don't worry about the postage, I can handle it. BTW- it doesn't have to be your personal address, just a post office or whereever you can think of picking it up. It's up to you, I'm happy to send it to you.

and when you wash mohair use a good quality dishwashing liqued - handwash (not in a machine). Just a thimball-full and warm water. True. I know it sounds strange but even the best laundry powders tend to wreck mohair. When drying, always lay flat because it can stretch like anything (I'm sorry if I'm saying things which you may already know here ..but thought I should mention this anyway).
