Mohair is not just mohair..... mohair is hair, not wool. That is why 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 category C, but if you are "just" sensitive, I would still recommend that you try this one, because it is truly different. This luxury mohair only runs 175m per 25g. It becomes very thick if you knit with two strands. Therefore, for example, PetiteKnit's "Kumulus blouse" would 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 care for them are treated and get paid, etc., is monitored all the time. This means that you can buy our mohair without a guilty conscience and thereby support Africa's mohair goats and their shepherds. They make sure the goats are well cared for and the people receive their wages and have proper working conditions
We work extensively with image editing for our products, and we do our best to achieve the most true-to-life image of the yarn. However, please be aware that colors may vary depending on the screen you are viewing the images on.
