Pearl Mohair | Majo
Majo's Pearl Mohair is light as a feather, fluffy as a cloud, soft as can be - and comes in extra bright colours! You can pair this mohair with another yarn like a merino or silk to add a beautiful halo to your project, or use it on its own for a full mohair moment.

PROJECT IDEAS
A lace mohair like this one is a social butterfly - it likes to be with other yarns. Pairing mohair with other yarns gives your fabric a nice fuzzy halo, as well as strength, softness, and extra insulation. But mohair also looks fantastic on its own! You can hold a moahir like this double stranded at a DK gauge to get beautiful airy fabrics.
