Product Information
Full details
The Prym Mohair Brush is an essential maintenance tool for knitters and crocheters who frequently work with high-pile fibers like mohair, angora, and brushed wool. Designed to rejuvenate yarn surfaces and remove pilling, this tool helps restore the original loft and softness of delicate hand-crafted garments. While highly effective at reviving the nap of fluffy textiles, users should exercise caution on tightly twisted or non-fluffy yarns to avoid unwanted fraying or fiber distortion.

FAQs
Can I use this on regular wool yarn?
This brush is designed specifically for high-pile or brushed yarns. It may not provide the desired effect on smooth, tightly spun wool and could potentially cause unnecessary fuzzing.
How often should I brush my mohair garment?
Brush your garment only when the fibers appear matted or when pilling becomes visible. Over-brushing can prematurely thin out the yarn.
Is this tool safe for delicate hand-dyed yarns?
Yes, provided you use gentle, light strokes, it is safe for delicate fibers, including hand-dyed mohair blends.
How do I remove lint trapped in the bristles?
You can manually pull out the accumulated fibers after each use. If necessary, use a fine-toothed comb to clear debris from the base of the bristles.
Can the brush be washed?
Yes, you can wash the brush with mild soap and cool water. Ensure it is completely dry before using it on your next project.
Will this remove large pills?
It is designed to lift small pills and matted fibers. Very large or tightly knotted pills may require manual removal before brushing.
Troubleshooting
Brush is pulling on the yarn instead of gliding
Reduce the pressure applied during the brushing motion and ensure you are brushing in the direction of the fiber nap.
Too many fibers are being pulled out
You are likely applying too much force. Use a lighter touch and brush only the surface of the garment.
Bristles have become bent
Gently straighten the bristles by hand. Avoid applying excessive heat, as this may permanently warp the plastic.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
No assembly is required for the Prym Mohair Brush; it is ready to use immediately upon removal from packaging. It is compatible with all natural and synthetic mohair, angora, and brushed yarn blends. To maintain the brush, remove any loose fibers caught in the bristles after each use to ensure effectiveness. If the brush becomes dusty or soiled, rinse it gently in lukewarm water with mild soap and allow it to air dry completely before the next use. Store the brush in a cool, dry place away from direct heat to maintain the integrity of the plastic bristles.
