Product Information

Knitting for Olive Soft Silk Mohair can be used held together with a strand from a companion yarn for a lighter warmer and fluffier fabric. Suitable for knitting on its own or doubled.
Please note that Mohair is not particularly suitable for children 1 year old and under, since the lightweight Mohair fibres, while perfectly safe, can cause mild irritation if babies get them in their mouths.

Meterage: 225 metres per 25 gram ball
Care: Handwash in cool water, dry flat. Air regularly and depill if needed. Fold carefully or store flat for long lasting use.
Suggested knitting needle size: 4.5mm or as pattern suggests particularly if holding together with another yarn.
Yarn Information
The Mohair fibre comes from angora goats bred in South Africa, and the yarn is also produced locally there. These yarns are traceable back to the individual farms, which means it is known exactly which farms, farmers, and goats the wool comes from.
All of this Mohair is independently certified to the Responsible Mohair Standard (RMS), certified by Control Union, CU 898826.
The yarn is produced with high respect for animal wellbeing, and with social responsibility. The spinning mill follows ethical, technical and environmental standards, creating yarns free from harmful chemicals.
The Silk in this Soft Silk Mohair is cruelty free. The silk fibres are collected from cocoons after the chrysalises are allowed to mature into moths and escape. This means that the silk worms are not killed in the process as they are in conventional silk production.
The yarn is STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX® certified.
Glorious range of modern colours to suit every project and wardrobe. More shades will be added in future.
Note! Since different computer monitors display colours differently, we cannot guarantee that the colour of the yarn on your computer monitor accurately captures the true colours of the product.
