Mohair is not just mohair..... mohair is hair and not wool. Therefore, the shorter the hairs are the more it itches - similar to if we were crew cut. Economically, producers get more by shearing the goats often and thus obtain more yarn than letting them grow long-haired. The longer the hairs are, the more they lie flat against our skin and therefore itch less. It is not recommended for allergy sufferers and that is why it has a category C, but if you are "just" sensitive, I would recommend trying this, as it really is different. This luxury mohair only runs 350m per 50g. It becomes very thick if you knit with two strands. Therefore, for example, the PetiteKnits "Kumulus sweater" would be fine with just one strand of this mohair.
Our mohair is CSM certified (Certified Sustainable Mohair), which means that everything from how the mohair goat is treated, lives and is cared for to how the people who look after them are treated and paid etc., is monitored at all times. This means that you can buy our mohair without guilt and thereby support Africa's mohair goats and their herders. They ensure that the goats are well cared for and that the people receive their wages and have decent working conditions
We work extensively with photo editing of our products and we do our best to achieve the most true-to-life image of the yarn. However, you should be aware that colors may vary depending on the screen you view the images on.
