Soft Silk Mohair - Knitting for Olive

Knitting for Olive Soft Silk Mohair is a luxurious blend of the finest Kid Mohair and Mulberry silk.

This Mohair comes from angora goats bred in South Africa, and the yarn is also produced locally.  These yarns are traceable back to the individual farms, which means the brand knows exactly which farms, farmers, and goats the wool comes from.

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

The Silk is cruelty free. The silk fibres are collected 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.

The yarn is STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX® certificeret

Mohair is not particularly suitable for children 1 year old and under, since the lightweight Mohair fibers, while perfectly safe, can cause mild irritation if babies get them in their mouths.

Knitting for Olive Soft Silk Mohair can be used together with a strand from a companion yarn.
