Kidmohair is a natural product of the highest quality from South African mohair goats. South Africa today accounts for over 50% of the world's total mohair production, and this status gives rise to a high level of responsibility for production methods and quality.

The mohair goats are sheared twice a year either by hand or by machine. The animals are not harmed in any way in this process.
The mohair is sorted by length, fiber diameter and quality.
The mohair is then washed, carded and combed to the top, from which it is spun. Our yarn is spun from mohair that has RMS (Responsible Mohair Standard*) status.
Dyeing of the yarn is done before or after spinning, depending on the desired look of the finished yarn.

The yarn is dyed according to Oeko Tex Standard 100

Knitting gauges for combinations of our yarns

REMEMBER, knitting gauge is individual from person to person. It is therefore important to always make a knitting test. The gauges shown in the chart are measured in stockinette stitch. If you choose a different needle size than the one in the chart, the number of stitches will be different at 10 cm. If you knit with more threads, the gauge will also be different. We recommend reading the gauge chart below.
