Knitting for Olive Soft Silk Mohair – Ballerina Knitting for Olive

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.

All of our Mohair is independently certified to the Responsible Mohair Standard (RMS), certified by Control Union, CU 898826.

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

RMS Mohair certified by Control Union, CU 898826

We advise that Mohair is not particularly suitable for children 1 year old and under, since the lightweight Mohair fibers, while perfectly safe, can cause mild irritation if babies get them in their mouths.

Knitting for Olive Soft Silk Mohair can be used together with a strand from a companion yarn.
