Mohair Yarn

Mohair yarn comes from the fleece of the Angora goat and is prized for its softness, lightweight texture, and fluffy texture. It's popular for knitting and weaving because it adds a unique texture and warmth to garments and projects, making it ideal for scarves, shawls, and sweaters.

Mohair yarn is versatile and great for creating soft, cosy items like scarves, hats, mittens, and other fluffy garments. Its lightweight nature also makes it perfect for adding a luxurious touch to delicate, airy designs while still providing warmth.

While mohair can be more delicate to work with due to its fine fibres, it is still suitable for beginners. Starting with a simpler pattern and using a blend like mohair and silk can make handling easier and give beautiful results.

Yes, mohair yarn can be used for both knitting and weaving. Its versatility allows you to create intricate patterns in weaving projects or soft, lightweight textures in knitted garments.

Mohair yarn can sometimes feel a bit itchy, especially for those with sensitive skin, as it has a slightly fuzzy texture due to its natural fibres. However, high-quality mohair yarn, particularly when blended with silk or other soft fibres, tends to feel much softer and smoother against the skin. If you’re concerned about itchiness, try blending mohair with other yarns or using it for garments like scarves and sweaters that are worn over other clothing layers.
