Soft Mohair Yarns......
Angora Goat
Angora Goat
When the weather turns cooler, I begin thinking warm scarves. They make great Christmas gifts. Each year I select new yarns and look for the softest and most interesting in textures. Of late, the yarn shops are chocked full of gorgeous selections. One of my all-time favorties is Angora or Mohair Yarn. This gorgeous yarn comes from the Angora goat. Shorn from the goat twice a year, as it grows faster than sheep's wool. It is a soft lustrous and hard weaving fiber, used in fabrics, textiles and yarns. It is a hollow fibre, takes dye exceptionally well and is two and one half times warmer than wool. The fibre has three main grades; Kid-the first two shearings of the baby goat are the softest and finest. Well...off to the yarn shop I go today.
