Tynn Silk Mohair | Sandnes Garn

Tynn Silk Mohair from Sandnes Garn is light as a feather, fluffy as a cloud, soft as can be - and we've brought in some of their brightest 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.

HOW IT'S MADE

This yarn is made in Norway in the Sandnes Garn factory, and the raw cotton fiber is sourced from India. Sandnes Garn ensures good working conditions and only works with factories they've visited in-person and surveilled. The Sandnes Garn factory follows very strict EU regulations, is regularly tested for toxins, and runs almost completely on electric power from Lyse, whose energy source is hydropowered.

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.
