Take Care Mohair

WHAT’S HER STORY?

Take Care Mohair is a fluffy so-and-so. It’s going to keep you snug in winter but breezy in summer – hurrah! Our yarn comes from a part of South Africa where there’s a 200-year tradition of goat farming and a genuine commitment to sustainability.

WHAT’S IT LIKE TO KNIT WITH?

Lofty, open and flowy, Take Care Mohair is lacy and open on a larger needle, denser on a smaller needle. This yarn knits up quickly and is super soft! We recommend using 6.5mm - 15mm knitting needles or a 8mm to 12mm crochet hook.

WHAT CAN I MAKE?

Take Care Mohair is great for layering pieces - sweaters, cardigans, hats and scarves are our favourite things to make with this yarn. Using only 1 x x ball of our Take Care Mohair you can make a hat or a cowl - our 50g balls are twice the weight of most mohair on the market.

Garter Stitch, Stocking Stitch, Mock Fisherman's Rib, double wrap stitch
