What makes mohair special
The fuzz comes from the fine hair of the Angora goat. It rises as you wear it and forms a soft halo around every stitch – that’s why a mohair scarf looks as if it were glowing.
Light but warm
Mohair keeps you warm without adding bulk. A shawl made from 100 g weighs almost nothing and fits folded into your coat pocket. And because the fuzz makes the stitches look softer, mohair forgives small irregularities – even on a first project.
From fine to very fine
Our mohair yarns range from 140 m per 100 g up to 1,000 m – the finest yarn in our range. They include kid mohair from young goats, which is noticeably softer than regular mohair, and a blend with silk.
Care
Hand wash at 30 °C and dry flat. Gently shaking it out after drying brings the fuzz back.
For more warmth and more weight, take a look at our Alpaca Wool collection.
Frequently asked questions
Does mohair itch?
Kid mohair (from young goats) is especially fine and soft. Still, some people find the fuzzy fibers ticklish on the neck – it’s best to start with a scarf or a sweater that doesn’t sit right against your neck.
Can I knit mohair together with another yarn?
Yes, that’s very popular: a strand of mohair held together with merino or alpaca gives you a light, fluffy fabric.
How do I wash mohair?
Hand wash at up to 30 °C with a mild wool detergent, do not rub or wring, dry flat. You’ll find the exact care instructions listed with each yarn. A little steam brings the fuzz back to life.
