I knitted a swatch with Anna’s Grasshopper last night. Using the recommended needle size, US 8. Although the yarn felt a little scratchy when I first picked it up, it didn’t cause any problem during knitting. I gave the completed swatch a warm bath and let it dry on a towel. After all that, the fiber bloomed and fuzzed up a bit. The fabric did become softer like so many who used Peace Fleece said. It definitely looks and feels “hairier”. I think the drape will be nice. It’s not stiff at all. I was concerned about the fuzz. Will it cause scratchiness next to the skin? I placed it against the more sensitive part of my arm. Brushed the fabric against the skin a bit. No scratchiness. It actually felt quite soft and nice. It’s a nice “hairy”. 
I always wear a shirt underneath the sweater anyway.
Here are two pairs of photos. The first of each pair is the “before” blocking picture. The other is the “after” blocking picture.
See the fuzziness? I guess that’s what they call “halo”. The Mohair does bloom and pop out after blocking. The yarn is a heavy worsted 2-ply. I got 4.125 stitches per inch. Yes. It needs to be that precise with the sweater project. 
My partner loves how this fabric looks. So do I!
Dear Jason,
The yarn you selected is a lovely color and your knitting is nice and even! I think this sweater will look terrific and I am looking forward to seeing your progress! Very nicely done

I just worry that it would look boring with single color. This yarn is not good for textures, I don’t think. So I won’t go there. Let’s just hope that this is my color. 
The heathering comes through very nicely. It’s gonna be a gorgeous sweater.
Jason wrote: Thanks Dave! I am crossing my fingers. I won’t start knitting it until after I finish the shawl and the sampler. I don’t think it will be long wait though.
That is beautiful. Very nice look.

I am loving that yarn, having a hard time being patient…waiting for mine. Beautiful swatch, Jason, and I’m so pleased to hear about the softness, the colours blow me away…I liked that “it’s a nice hairy” so with the halo, not so much a recommendation for cable-work? What do you think?
Jason wrote: Thanks Marianne! Have you ordered your yarn already? No, I don’t recommend this yarn for cable-work. Not only that the halo can dull the look of textured knitting. It is also 2-ply, and I’ve heard that 2-ply is not ideal for cables.
In response to your reply on previous post…I’m also extremely introverted and from Thanksgiving on I’m a complete wreck, it takes every ounce of will in my being to get me through January, today was my maternal grandmother’s birthday…and that’s pretty much it for a little while….sigh.

I do hope you get to really relax soon. 
Those are some lovely photos. I like the ‘halo’. “It’s a nice “hairy”.” LMHO!
Jason wrote: Saffron, seriously, that’s how I felt at the time.

Jason wrote: Thank you Chris! I’ll have to finish the shawl first. Have to make it a Chinese New Year gift for mom!
Well, the yarn sure does look softer after the blocking!
Jason wrote: Thanks Elemmaciltur! I played with it again today (oh, it’s a nice hairy!
) I think it’s actually softer than I thought. I think it wasn’t completely dry when I blogged about it last.
