100% Pure Kid Australian Mohair – A UNIQUE YARN BASE
\nAn unbrushed, worsted spun 2-ply yarn available in 39 colors<\/p>\n
We recommend working in needle sizes US 6 – US 11 as these provide a range from soft, draping fabric to an airy, lightweight open lace. We also highly recommend washing and blocking the finished piece to smooth the appearance of uneven stitching.<\/p>\n
This is our MOST POPULAR hand-knitting yarn. It has been described as \u2018like butter\u2019; yet it has substance and strength to hold stitches. The tightness of spin combined with the relaxed angle of ply creates a luxurious drape and a sense of substance. It has a slight amount of halo, but is still very flat and reflective.<\/p>\n
The reflective quality comes from the fact that mohair has similar qualities to human hair; i.e., a cuticle layer, which lays flat. Our fiber is acquired from professionally managed and genetically refined angora goats. \u2018Kid\u2019 is actually a classing term in the supply of mohair fiber, and will fall between 25 – 29 micron, and is the most commonly used fiber in mohair knitting yarns.<\/p>\n
Our Lace hand knitting yarn is commercially processed (in the USA) for consistency. We hand-dye the natural pearl skeins in a professionally managed small dye house based in Melbourne, Australia.<\/p>\n
Our approach to this is to obtain the most unadulterated, unblended, and completely pure form of a natural fiber, Lace. Yes – it\u2019s mohair. But it\u2019s not at all what you were expecting.<\/p>\n
