Verity is a great yarn, bulky without being overpowering. The mohair lends the yarn a slight halo, which allows you to go up a needle or hook size and get a drapier fabric. Mohair also creates a shine to the yarn and mutes the color somewhat. The woolen feel of Verity makes it great for thrummed mittens, and outerwear like vests or jackets. Verity’s true calling is in felting projects, so try it for a nice firm bag that wouldn’t even let knitting needles poke through, or less firm but warm and sturdy slippers.
