As its name suggests, Tynn Silk Mohair is our fine version of Silk Mohair. It is a soft and luxurious blend of the finest mohair, wool, and silk. This yarn is fine and very economical to use. By knitting Tynn Silk Mohair with one or more strands, you will obtain a light, airy, and luxurious garment. If you use Tynn Silk Mohair as a companion yarn with other qualities, you will achieve an interesting effect and good hold in every garment.
Mohair is the wool of the Angora goat. This is a breed of goat that has long, curly wool fibers that are as soft as silk. Ordinary wool is added to give the yarn elasticity and volume. Silk adds strength and shine while holding the fibers together when brushed. This results in a soft, light, and airy yarn with a fluffy appearance.
If you machine wash, we recommend washing all wool garments separately on the wool cycle for gentler treatment. Spin dry thoroughly and dry the garment flat, preferably on a towel. Never use a laundry bag when washing hand-knitted wool garments. This creates friction that can cause the garment to pill.
