\"\"This was instantly quite popular and many farmers brought their fibre to my mill to spin it or sell it to me. I was wet behind the ears, and took all the fibre I got and started spinning. Some of it spun up beautifully, some was okay and some did not work at all. It just made lumps and broke all the time. Now, the goat fibre can be very tricky,- probably mirrors the character of the goat a little, and it was veeerrry time consuming. But the result was so amazing. Just absolutely gorgeous and so incredibly soft. I remember saying to my husband, when I saw the first batch come out of the fibre-separator on our first days at the mill; \u201cOh, wow. We need to get a goat!\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Pretty soon I realised that I did not know enough about goats and why their fibre was sometimes so very different between farms and what they could do to make it better or maybe get the best quality. So after some consideration and talking with the family, I decided to get some goats of my own. \u2013 As you do to learn things. \ud83d\ude42\"\"\"\"<\/strong><\/p>\n

I started at the bottom with needlesize 3,0 mm (which is between 2 and 3 US needlesizes) and 450 sts (if I remember correctly,- it was a lot of sts at least). I did not knit a ribbing, but had equal amount of knit and purl stitches without having it to curl up. I had two colours to work with, white and brownish grey, but those are the two natural colours that the goat provides. I did not want to dye it in any fancy colours, just keep them natural, but I wanted to use them both. As I knitted, I designed what I wanted to do next. So the purled stitches were supposed to be my decreasing stitches. And because I had a LOT of stitches on my needle, I pretty soon started decreasing. Too soon, I would say when the dress was finished, but I didn\u2019t want to unravel it. I made some stripes at the bottom of the skirt and when I saw that knitting stockinette in one colour for so long could be boring, I added some flowers with the method of yarn over and knit 2 together. Not wanting to have it too regular, because goats do not follow patterns, I decided to have those hole flowers just here and there. Also to publicly refer to the goat\u2019s ability to crawl through small holes in fences when there is something interesting on the other side. That can also be irregular.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"The sleeves were a bit of a headache. I decided to pick up the stitches all the round and knit first in a round, and then back and forth, make them longer over the shoulders and out to the arms sometimes using German short rows, sometimes going almost all the way, putting in hole-pattern as I went on with it. I should have just picked up few and knit back and forth and pick up sts as I knitted on, it would have worked better. But I will just do that the next time (if there will be a next time). Not doing it that way, and not writing down, exactly what I did on the first sleeve made me have to unravel the second sleeve halfway through \u2013 once \u2013 and start over. But they became equal enough. I mean, it is only me who will know what sleeve is different from the other, right?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I knitted and knitted and unravelled and knitted some more, the pile in my lap growing bigger, I mean, I am rather big. Usually I use L or XL in clothes. As I was holding the dress getting bigger in my hands, I started thinking \u201cWow, this is going to be a very expensive dress! I will end in a kilo (2 pounds) with all this yarn\u201d Because the goat yarn (Cashmere) is indeed very expensive. But guess what\u2026\u00a0 the dress is only 302 grams (10.6 oz) And wearing it is like you have nothing on. The magic with the cashmere from the goat is that it fluffs up to a lot, but weighs almost nothing.<\/strong>
\nAnd it is sooooo soft. Oh, my. I don\u2019t think I have ever had anything so special. And I find it very beautiful also.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I have had the chance to wear it on numerous occasions already and it catches the attention every time. Many people that know me and come over to me to say hello, put a hand on my shoulder and stop instantly and say; \u201cOooh\u2026 that is soft! What is that?\u201d and when I say it is the goat yarn, their eyes go wide and they instantly lower their voice lowers to a whisper and they say; \u201cIt is THE goat!!!\u201d and then they pat me a little more.<\/strong><\/p>\n
