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 is RMS certified (that's Responsible Mohair Standard to you and me). The Responsible Mohair Standard verifies mohair animal welfare and land management requirements and tracks it from farm to final product.

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.
WORKS WELL WITH...
Garter Stitch, Stocking Stitch, Mock Fisherman's Rib, double wrap stitch
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.
