Tynn Silk Mohair is a lace weight 57% mohair, 28% silk and 15% wool blend.
Tynn Silk Mohair is our thin variant of Silk Mohair and is a soft and luxurious blend of the finest mohair, wool and silk. The yarn is thin and goes a long way. If you knit with Tynn Silk Mohair using one or more strands, you will get a light, airy and luxurious garment. If you use Tynn Silk Mohair as an accompanying strand together with other yarns, you will get an exciting result and good hold in any garment.
Mohair is wool from the Angora goat. This goat breed has long, silky-smooth, and curly wool fibers. Ordinary wool is added to give the yarn resilience and volume. The silk adds strength and shine while holding the fibers together when the yarn is brushed. The result is a soft, light and airy yarn with a fuzzy texture.
This yarn is STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX® certified.

Care Instructions
We always recommend hand-knitted garments be hand washed to ensure the longevity of the garment and to avoid felting.
If you choose to machine wash, we recommend that all wool garments be washed separately on a wool program, to ensure the gentlest treatment. Use wool detergent. Spin well and dry the garment flat out of direct sunlight. Never use a laundry bag when washing hand-knitted wool garments as this creates friction that can cause the garment to felt.
