Raffaello - soft, fluffy like clouds, luxurious thicker kid mohair threads. In the color palette, both those who like brighter tones and those who appreciate calm earthy shades will find a shade close to them. For those who adore mohair, but do not always like to knit with thin standard kid mphera threads, Raffaello yarn will be exactly what you were looking for! With Raffaello you will knit really quickly and there is absolutely no need to look for any additional knitting yarn to thicken your knitwork. Knitwear made from Raffaello yarns will be really warm and perfectly suitable for the coldest autumn - winter weather. You can knit various sweaters, scarfs loose fancy vests or warm shawls. Although the Raffaello yarn looks really thin enough, choose thicker needles for your knitting. The abundant mohair fluff in the yarn is best revealed in a slightly looser knit, so after testing these yarns with needles of various thicknesses, we found 4 mm to be the most suitable. So, of course, the exact amount of yarn for knitting will also depend on the chosen needles. Raffaello mohair yarn is really great, the quality feels great when you take them in your hands and you just don't want to let them go. Really :) 

Of course you will ask, could Raffaello be worn close to skin. Trying to evaluate it objectively, this mohair is really quite gentle and soft. There are softer ones, but certainly there are also much harder and rougher ones. So if you react "calmly" to fluff of mohair, you will probably like it. If you are sensitive to any type of mohair fluff, you will likely feel a slight "bite" of yarn. Please keep in mind, that this is a subjective assessment of the feel of the thread, so it may differ from yours.
