The mohair in this yarn comes from angora goats bred in South Africa, and the yarn is also produced locally there. It is certified sustainable and RMS (Responsible Mohair Standard), and 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 in this yarn 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.
As with all Knitting for Olive yarns, Soft Silk Mohair is STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX® certified.
