With MOHAIR 21 we offer you the possibility of creating your own yarn. Combine several strands of the same colour, or mix shades as the mood takes you, to produce your own uniquely coloured yarn. The number 21 in the name of the yarn comes from the gauge of the mohair fibres, which are just 21 micron. This exquisite quality mohair is otherwise only used in haute couture. Thanks to our programme Trace your Yarn, you can trace the yarn back to the farm of origin in Australia by scanning the QR code on the ball band. Also, the mohair fibres are certified RMS (Responsible Mohair Standard), which guarantees the welfare of the goats, sustainable land management and fair and safe working conditions from farm to finished product.

Weight group is derived from measured gauge, not the brand's label — that is why a yarn labelled "aran / worsted" can sit in our Aran group while another brand's "worsted" lands in DK. Library: 1406 yarns · 42 brands · 135 without gauge · 276/1408 gauge rows missing row count.
