Weaving a mohair throw

 It has been a while since I have done any weaving, so it was great to get back into it. I had promised my daughter a mohair blanket so during the tour de fleece I also dyed up some mohair and then used it to do a weaving. Mohair likes to spread its wings so when using it, either in knitting or weaving you have to give it space to fluff up nicely. 
Having said that I suddenly remembered why I don't weave mohair in both the warp and the weft. It just makes things more difficult than they need to be. Let's just say I was happy when this was finished.
