Yarn Information

The Mohair fibre comes from angora goats bred in South Africa, and the yarn is also produced locally there.  These yarns are traceable back to the individual farms, which means it is known exactly which farms, farmers, and goats the wool comes from.

All of this Mohair is independently certified to the Responsible Mohair Standard (RMS), certified by Control Union, CU 898826.

The yarn is produced with high respect for animal wellbeing, and with social responsibility. The spinning mill follows ethical, technical and environmental standards, creating yarns free from harmful chemicals.

The Silk in this Soft Silk Mohair is cruelty free. The silk fibres are collected from cocoons after the chrysalises are allowed to mature into moths and escape. This means that the silk worms are not killed in the process as they are in conventional silk production.

The yarn is STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX® certified.

Glorious range of modern colours to suit every project and wardrobe. More shades will be added in future.

Note! Since different computer monitors display colours differently, we cannot guarantee that the colour of the yarn on your computer monitor accurately captures the true colours of the product.
