Mohair, kid mohair, super kid mohair – mohair yarns are wonderful, and that is why we try to experiment a bit!

What happens if you knit with kid silk mohair and wool?

Deep green color of BC Garn Bio Shetland and light grass green of Gepard Kid Silk 5 (mohair and silk is a very light, warm yarn). The effect is magnificent – fluffy, thick, lighter knitting, and when we measure the 10x10cm – 24×36.

Not all patters can be knitted in mohair and wool blend though. If you want to knit a thin braid it will not be visible because the thread is quite fluffy. Kid Silk 5 makes the knitted 10×10 cm shine.
We use kid silk, but what is the difference between mohair, kid mohair och super kid mohair?

Super kid mohair is the thinnest and most delicate fiber, silky and luxurious! It is produced in small quantities and used in expensive yarn.

Knitted garments of mohair last a long time if you wash and treat them properly.
1. You can wash with your hands but do not soak it.
2. Wash and rinse at a temperature not exceeding 30 degrees.
3. Use suitable detergents, preferably for wool or silk.
4. After rinsing the garment, allow the water to drain. Put it on a towel and squeeze lightly to squeeze out some more water.
