Care Instructions:
Hand-wash in cool water, dry flat.

Our favorite method for washing all hand knits! Fill a sink or basin with coolwater and submerge the fabric in water, gently squeezing out any air bubbles so that the piece can remain under water without being held there. Soak workfor 20-30 minutes, allowing fabric to become completely saturated. Remove excess moisture by rolling your fabric between clean, dry towels with light pressure. Lay fabric flat and shape to air dry.

OurMohair comes from angora goats bred in South Africa, and the yarn is also produced locally. Our yarns are traceable back to the individual farms, which means we know exactly which farms, farmers, and goats our wool comes from.

Our Mohair is certified sustainable and RMS (Responsible Mohair Standard). The yarn is produced with high respect for animal wellbeing, and with social responsibility. Our spinning mill follows ethical, technical and environmental standards, creating yarns free from harmful chemicals.

The Silk in our Soft Silk Mohair is cruelty free. The silk fibres arecollected from cocoons after the chrysalises are allowed to mature into moths and escape. This means that the silk worms are not killed in the process as they are in conventional silk production.
