Mohair is not just mohair..... mohair is hair and not wool. Therefore, the shorter the hairs are, the more it itches — like if we were crew-cut. Economically, producers get more by shearing the goats often and thus obtain more yarn than by letting them grow long. 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 recommend you try this one, as it really is different. This luxury mohair runs only 350m per 50g. It becomes very thick if you knit with two strands. Therefore, for example, PetiteKnits "Kumulus sweater" would be nice in just a single strand of this mohair.
Our mohair is CSM certified (Certified Sustainable Mohair), which means that everything from how the mohair goat is treated, lives and is cared for to how the people who tend them are treated and paid, etc., is monitored at all times. This means you can buy our mohair without guilt and thereby support Africa's mohair goats and their herders. They ensure the goats are well cared for and that the people receive fair pay and have proper working conditions
