This is Not a Sweater

Does this look like a sweater to you?  Me neither.  Hot mess, more like.  As my 5-year-old would say, "It's really and truly going to be a sweater, just not right now."  


It's Rowan Cocoon, a blend of 80% wool and 20% mohair, which is a dream knit up.  Not so much on the ripping out, though.  Mohair sticks like a mother.  

Has anyone else out there discovered the problems with  frogging this yarn?  Any suggestions?  

In the meantime, I'm taking suggestions on what to do with this yarn pile.

Put it in the freezer for a few hours first. It will make all those sticky strands easier to work with. Very pretty yarn though...

Okay, how about waxing the needles with ski or surf wax??? Der, this is from someone who hasn't knit since the age of the Things....
