Mohair is not just mohair..... mohair is hair, not wool. Therefore, the shorter the hairs are, the more it itches - just like if we had a buzz cut. Economically, producers get more out of shearing the goats often and therefore get more yarn out of it than by letting them grow long-haired. The longer the hairs are, the more they lie flat against our skin and therefore itch less. It is not recommended for allergy sufferers and therefore has a category C, but if you are "just" sensitive, I would definitely recommend that you try this, as it is truly different. This luxury mohair runs only 175m per 25g. It becomes very thick if you knit with two strands. Therefore, for example, PetiteKnits "Kumulus blouse" will be fine in just one strand of this mohair.
Our mohair is CSM certified (Certified Sustainable Mohair), which means that everything from how the mohair goat is doing, living and being cared for, to how the people who look after them are doing and getting paid, etc., is monitored all the time. This means that you can buy our mohair without a bad conscience and thereby support Africa's mohair goats and their shepherds. They make sure the goats are well cared for and the people get their wages and have proper working conditions
We work a lot with image editing for our products, and we do our best to achieve the most true-to-life image of the yarn. However, please be aware that the colors may vary depending on the screen you are viewing the images on.
