Royal Mink is a blend of 70% Combed Mink and 30% Angora, and is suitable for both knitting and weaving, as both warp and weft. Like Angora fibre, the mink fibre is combed gently from the mink: no animals are harmed. The combing is carried out annually to produce the best fibre. The softness and drape of the combed mink is beautifully complemented by the loftiness of the Angora to make an exquisite yarn.

Washing: Wash by hand using detergent, never soap, and a little white vinegar. To raise the nap, washing can be quite vigorous as there is little shrinkage. Rinse thoroughly, with white vinegar in at least the last rinse. Remove excess water with a towel and lay flat to dry.
