50% Wool – 30% Super Kid Mohair - 20% Silk

MOUSTACHE belongs to the family of mohair yarns. Entirely natural, it consists of a precious blend of three exceptional fleeces. The 30% of super kid mohair fibres bring this vaporous, cloudy and fuzzy aspect typical of mohair yarns. The 20% of silk adds qualities of resistance and elasticity of silk with its shiny and regular finish. The extra-fine merino fibre completes the set by giving it its swelling, its volume and its softness. The super kid mohair fibre is harvested from the youngest goats of the so-called "angora" breed, historically of Caucasian origin, today mostly raised in the highlands of South Africa, even if high quality breedings have been developing in France for several years.
MOUSTACHE can be knitted alone or doubled. When knitted alone, MUSTACHE is recommended for needle 3 mm to 3.5mm. MOUSTACHE should preferably be washed by hand, with mild soap (Marseille soap, organic if possible), without spinning, drying flat.
