Fat Mohair

FAT MOHAIR

(formerly known as “Den Behårede”)

Fat Mohair is our lovely hand-dyed, brushed mohair. This yarn quality has been one of our best-selling yarns over the years, and not without reason.
Fat Mohair consists of 78% kid mohair, 13% non-superwashed merino, 9% nylon, and has a yardage of 200 metres/100g.

Mohair comes from the mohair goat, and kid mohair is hair from the mohair goat’s very first shearing, which is clearly the softest. This, combined with the 13% merino, makes the yarn incredibly soft.

After spinning, the yarn is brushed/scratched up, which gives the lovely hairy/soft yarn.

This yarn can be used to knit everything from sweaters, hats, mittens, scarves, and much more.
We typically knit Fat Mohair on a 6-10 mm knitting needle (e.g. we have a gauge of 10 stitches/10 cm on needle 10mm). But you can also easily knit on knitting needles up to 12-15 mm, which gives a knitted product that is very light and airy.

NOTE. Please be aware that the yarn is hand-dyed in small batches, and colors may vary from one dye lot to another.
