Kid Mohair 1ply
Mohair yarn of 65% kidmohair and 35% of the softest merino wool. The yarn is very light and has a lenght of meters of about 350 m / 50 grams and is knitted with a needle size of 2 – 3 1/2 mm.
Our 1-ply kidmohair yarn is very popular for smaller things. Due to the long length, with only a few bundles you can knit or crochet large amazing shawls etc. Since the yarn is offered in many colors, you have the opportunity to make your very own color combinations by knitting two threads together of different colors.
The 1-ply yarn is also very suitable for mixing with other yarns, as the softness of the mohair clearly comes through if mixed with a slightly hard yarn. Even the lightest and thinnest shawl of this yarn provides good heat, without filling much.
Several of the colors are reoccurring in our other types of yarns, so mixing our different qualities in the same color can provide great unique knitting experiences for the creative.
Kid mohair is a natural product of the highest quality from South African Angora goats. South Africa currently accounts for approximately 50% of the world’s Mohair production, and that fact gives a great responsibility for production methods and quality.
The Angora goats are sheared twice a year, either by hand or with machines. The animals are not harmed in any way in this process.
The mohair is sorted by length, fiber diameter and quality.
Then washed, carded and combed, made into tops and spun into yarns.
Dyeing of the yarn is carried out before or after it is spun depending on the expression desired in the finished yarn.
