Working with mohair wool
Although not generally as soft as cashmere or alpaca Mohair yarn is best known by knitters worldwide for its sheen and the halo appearance its fluffiness can give to garments.
Novice knitters, however, may struggle with the particularly fluffy varieties so we have selected a collection smoother yarns that are easier to use; for example, try the DROPS Kid Silk range or Rowan's Kidsilk Haze. For pattern inspiration, scroll to the bottom of each yarn range page.
Please note, we do not advise using mohair for baby items.
