Mohair

Mohair is one of those fibers that makes every project feel a little more special. Spun from the fleece of angora goats, it has a natural sheen and a soft, airy halo that adds depth to even the simplest stitches. Many of the mohair yarns we carry — including Loop Posy, Biches & Bûches Le Petit Silk Mohair, and Isager Silk Mohair — are blended with silk, which brings extra luster and helps the colors glow. These blends are typically laceweight, perfect for knitting on their own for something light and delicate or pairing with a merino wool yarn to add shine, texture, and warmth.

Mohair is a beautiful choice for soft, cozy accessories that make thoughtful gifts. Two strands of Posy create the gentle marled texture in our Posy Marled Cowl, while Posy paired with Sprig gives the Lightweight Funnel Cowl its cloudlike drape. For garments, mohair held with lambswool brings a soft halo and beautiful depth of color to pieces like the Novice Cardigan.

For knitters who prefer something a little more substantial, Mode at Rowan Mohair Soft offers mohair in a worsted-weight blend that’s easy to knit on its own. No matter how you use it, mohair brings a touch of luxury to any project.
