Mohair Yarn

Mohair yarn brings softness, warmth, and its signature airy halo to knitted fabrics. Knit it on its own for light, delicate sweaters and accessories, or hold it together with another yarn to add warmth, texture, and beautiful depth of color.

At Loop, you’ll find laceweight silk-mohair yarns as well as more substantial mohair blends for projects ranging from wispy scarves and shawls to cozy sweaters and accessories.

Choosing a Mohair Yarn

Not all mohair yarns create the same fabric. The right one depends on whether you want a delicate halo, a more substantial fabric, or a yarn to hold together with something else.

Isager Silk Mohair is a classic fine mohair-and-silk yarn with an airy halo and luminous color. It works beautifully on its own for lightweight garments and accessories or held together with another yarn to add softness and depth.

Loop Posy is our own laceweight mohair-and-silk yarn. Use it by itself when you want a light, ethereal fabric, or pair it with another yarn to create extra warmth, color, and texture without adding much weight.

MODE at Rowan Mohair Soft offers a more substantial way to work with mohair. It’s a good choice when you want the softness and halo of mohair in a yarn designed to make a fuller fabric on its own.

How to Knit with Mohair

Mohair is prized for its soft halo, subtle sheen, and remarkable warmth without a lot of weight. Many fine mohair yarns are blended with silk, which adds strength, drape, and luster.

There are two especially useful ways to knit with it.

Knit mohair on its own when you want an airy, lightweight fabric. Fine mohair yarns work beautifully for scarves, shawls, sweaters, and other pieces where their softness and halo can take center stage.

Hold mohair together with another yarn when you want to transform an existing yarn. Pairing it with merino, lambswool, or another favorite yarn can add warmth, softness, subtle color variation, and a gentle halo while keeping the finished fabric surprisingly light.

Mohair also looks especially beautiful in open or simple fabrics where the fiber has room to bloom.
