Kid Mohair 2ply
Mohair yarn of 65% kidmohair and 35% of the softest merino wool. The yarn is very light and has a length of about 350 m / 100 grams. (175m per bundle)
For a singlecolored pullover in size 40, yarn consumption is about 500g of the 2-ply kidmohair yarn, but there are recipes with both smaller and more yarns. Note that many of the colors are in our other yarn qualities, so there is ample opportunity to combine and get exciting knitting results.
Only the fine fibers from Mohairkid are used. The Mohair yarn is lightweight and gives the ready-knit sweaters a heat-regulating and comfortable effect. Due to the smooth fibers of the mohair, mohair is dirt and water repellent. Sweaters knitted by our 2-ply kidmohair are suitable both inside and outdoor use. Under outerwear, the knit sweaters don’t take up much space. If you want a thicker and more waffled sweater, it is recommended to mix the yarn with our Brushed lace or the 1-ply kidmohair.
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 cut 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.
