Knitting for Olive - Soft Silk Mohair

Knitting for Olive Soft Silk Mohair is a luxurious blend of the finest Kid Mohair and Mulberry silk.

Our Mohair comes from angora goats bred in South Africa, and the yarn is also produced locally. Our yarns are traceable back to the individual farms, which means we know exactly which farms, farmers, and goats our wool comes from.

Our Mohair is certified sustainable and RMS (Responsible Mohair Standard). The yarn is produced with high respect for animal wellbeing, and with social responsibility. Our spinning mill follows ethical, technical and environmental standards, creating yarns free from harmful chemicals.

The Silk in our Soft Silk Mohair is cruelty free. The silk fibres are collected from cocoons after the chrysalises are allowed to mature into moths and escape. This means that the silk worms are not killed in the process as they are in conventional silk production.

The yarn is STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX® certificeret

Care Instructions

Hand dyed yarn care

We pre-wash our yarn with delicate soap before releasing to the wild.

To continue to care for our yarn, we strongly recommend using

delicate detergent for wool and silk,
hand wash in cool to room temperature water, and
dry flat.

Avoid washing it in washing machine and dryer even though it says "superwash" or on lowest heat and rpm setting. Agitation from tumbling will cause the fibre to pill and in the worst case, shrink and felt.

Ensure fully dry and store away from the sun to prevent discoloration.
