100% Pure Young Goat Australian Mohair - A Unique Yarn base an unbrushed, light fingering spun 2 ply yarn
The yarn has been manufactured without the addition of binders (such as merino) or a nylon core. The length of fiber and the type of spin process allow us to provide a silky, soft and reflective luxury yarn.
We often see a puzzled look from admirers of this yarn as the term ‘Young Goat’ is not commonly understood! The comment ‘Young Goat’ is actually a classing term, referring to the micron of the individual fiber. ‘Young Goat’ measures between 29.5 and 31 micron, and is a fiber commonly prized by hand spinners. The fiber is sheared off young adult angora goats that are at the age where they become mothers.
Our yarn is a fingering weight hand knitting yarn commercially processed (in the USA) for consistency. We hand dye the natural pearl skeins in a professionally managed small dye house in Melbourne, Australia.
It is extremely soft, but you’ll see more halo and slightly more shedding. Still - not your traditional mohair; not scratchy, not a big ball of fluff on a nylon core. It is flat and reflective. It satisfies those who like to work in heavier weighted yarns, with a more dense and warmer result.
