If you want to have a really fuzzy and hairy sweater (or a mohair blanket) there are the good techniques:
---1) You must have a good water spray (the same as for garden) fill it with water.
---2) spray water in fine drops on all the sweater
---3) shake strongly the sweater. The water drop will go away and their weight will begin to let the hair start growing on the sweater surface.
---4) take a hair metallic brush the same type used to comb pets or cats (plastic are not so good as the spikes are too aggressive with mohair wool)
---5)brush your mohair sweater or blanket very hard. The surface water will have the same effect as oil on motor metallic surface : it will prevent the tearing off to much hair from the mohair surface.
---6) Shake strongly the sweaters to make raise the hairs you have raised from your brushing.
---7) repeat the whole process (water...brushing...shaking...) 5 to ten times... you will have an extraordinary hairy and fuzzy result with very few hairs remove from the sweater.
--- Never brush a mohair sweater dry as it will pull a big quantity of wool out of the sweater.
---The shaking is as important as the brushing to make the hairs rise.
