I've been working all week on a fan and feather pattern scarf made out of kid mohair (Alchemy Promise), and boy is it a wonderful material to work with. Nevermind that the overdyed yarn is making my fingers blue, this stuff makes the squishiest, softest fabric I've ever had the opportunity to create. Although the yarn is a lace weight, it's really fuzzy and produces a buky fabric. I've been working in 8 size needles, and the scarf is working up faster than I could image lace working up!
And here's a closeup of the eyelets:
