Knitting with DESIRE

DESIRE (a review)

If you’ve ever wanted a yarn that makes people stop and ask, “Can I touch that?” — DESIRE is it. Feather-light, ridiculously soft, and quick to knit, it’s one of those yarns that makes you smile every time you pick it up. Even plain stitches look lush and expensive.

My First Impressions

DESIRE by WOOLADDICTS lives up to its name. This 82% superkid mohair blend delivers a halo of softness that floats around each stitch, creating a fabric that’s voluminous yet incredibly light. The touch appeal is immediate — the kind of yarn people can’t resist running their fingers over. With a luxurious sheen and feather-light loft, it promises both comfort and drama in every project.
