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 were crew cut. Economically, producers get more by shearing the goats often and thus obtain more yarn than by letting them grow long. 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 therefore has a category C, but if you are "just" sensitive, I would still recommend trying this, as it is truly different. This luxury mohair runs only 350m per 50g. It becomes very thick if you knit with two strands. Therefore, for example PetiteKnits' "Kumulus sweater" will 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 continuously. This means you can buy our mohair without guilt and thereby support Africa's mohair goats and their shepherds. They ensure the goats are well cared for and the people receive their wages and have decent working conditions
