FAQs

Is this yarn suitable for sensitive skin?

Mohair can sometimes feel prickly to those with extremely sensitive skin. It is recommended to use it for items worn over a base layer.

What is the Responsible Mohair Standard (RMS)?

The RMS is a voluntary global standard that ensures mohair comes from farms with a progressive approach to managing their land and practicing holistic respect for animal welfare.

Can I mix this with other yarns?

Yes, holding this mohair with a strand of wool or silk is a popular technique to add thickness, warmth, and a beautiful halo to your projects.

Does the color bleed during the first wash?

While the dyes are high quality, it is always best to wash similar colors together and use cold water to minimize the risk of color transfer.

How should I store leftover yarn?

Keep leftovers in a sealed bag or container to protect them from dust and moths, ensuring they remain clean for future use.

Troubleshooting

The yarn is shedding during the knitting process.

Some shedding is natural for mohair. Minimize handling and ensure your needles are smooth to avoid catching the delicate fibers.

The knitted fabric feels matted after washing.

Ensure you are using a gentle wool-safe detergent and washing in cold water. Avoid agitating or rubbing the fabric during the wash cycle.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your projects last, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Washing: Always hand wash garments in cold water to prevent shrinking or damage to the delicate fibers.
  2. Drying: Lay the item flat on a towel in its natural shape to air dry. Do not hang the garment while wet, as it may lose its shape.
  3. Prohibition: Never put this yarn in a tumble dryer, as heat will destroy the delicate mohair structure. Do not use bleach.
  4. Storage: Store finished projects in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading.
