Do you think...

I could make a Clap out of a worsted weight 85% wool/15% mohair blend? It's a heavier worsted (4 sts = 1" on size 9s) in the MOST gorgeous colourway...Columbine. It's Wonderful Wool by Steadfast Fibers and the sample doesn't do it justice.

Or will it not be drapey enough, and it will look crummy?

Be honest, please.

Thanks!!!!

I think you're right. Momentary lapse of reasoning skills. Yarn lurve - you know how it is.

Thanks for the reality check, Carolyn.

When I think of that content I think of Lamb's Pride and the like, so maybe a little too heavy? And I agree with Carolyn about the mohair.

Do you have the yarn already? Maybe you could make a skinny, smaller version? More like a scarf.

I do, I just got it today in an insane impulse purchase. It's OK, I was just so excited, I thought I'd ask. The right project for that yarn will present itself. I'm back to waiting for my Andean Silk sample card. I just need to be patient, and support all of you who are ready to roll with the Clappy.
