Mohair is not just mohair..... mohair is hair, not wool. Therefore, the shorter the hair, the more it itches - just like if we were close-cropped. Economically, producers get more out of clipping the goats often and thus get more yarn out of it than letting them grow long-haired. The longer the hair, the more it lies down along our skin and therefore itches less. It is not recommended for allergy sufferers and therefore has a category C, but if you are "just" sensitive, I would definitely recommend that you try this, as it is truly different. This luxury mohair only runs 175m on 25g. It becomes very thick if you knit with two strands. Therefore, for example, PetiteKnit's "Kumulus blouse" will be fine in just one strand of this mohair.
Our mohair is CSM certified (Certified Sustainable Mohair), which means that everything from how the mohair goat is cared for, lives, and is looked after to how the people who tend them are treated and paid, etc., is constantly monitored. This means that you can buy our mohair without a guilty conscience and thereby support Africa's mohair goats and their herders. They make sure the goats are well cared for and the people are paid and have proper working conditions
We work a lot with image editing for our products and do our best to achieve the most true-to-life image of the yarn. However, please note that colors may vary depending on the screen you are viewing the images on.
