Mohair is not just mohair..... mohair is hair and not wool. Therefore, the shorter the hairs are, the more it itches - just like if we had a crew cut. Economically, producers get more out of shearing the goats often and thus get more yarn out of it, than letting them grow long-haired. The longer the hairs are, the more they lie down along our skin and therefore itch less. It is not recommended for allergy sufferers and therefore it has a category C, but if you are "just" sensitive, I would still recommend that you try this one, as it is truly different. This luxury mohair has only 175m per 25g. It becomes very thick if you knit with two strands. Therefore, for example, PetiteKnit's "Kumulus blouse" would be nice 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 doing, lives and is cared for to how the people who look after them are doing and are paid, etc., is monitored all the time. This means that you can buy our mohair without any bad conscience and thus support Africa's mohair goats and their shepherds. They make sure the goats are well cared for and the people are paid and have proper working conditions
We work extensively with image editing of our products and do our best to achieve the most realistic image of the yarn. However, please be aware that the colors may vary depending on the screen you are viewing the images on.
