Information

Our mohair comes from Groesbeek, the Netherlands. A veterinarian there keeps a small herd of Angora goats. We spin the somewhat softer mohair with lamb's wool from Schapenstreek in Lutjebroek. This blend is very suitable for knitting socks. The mohair replaces the nylon/polyamide used in conventional sock yarn. This makes it possible to knit strong, durable socks without the addition of environmentally harmful petroleum-based plastics. The yarn length is approximately 400 meters/100 grams, which means it falls into the fingering/sock yarn category, or Yarn Group A.

Composition 50% mohair and 50% wol

Weight ± 50 grams

Yardage ± 400 meter / 100 grams

Yarn group A (fingering/sock yarn)

Schaapjeswol

Schaapjeswol

Schaapjeswol is our own brand. We collect the wool ourselves and have it spun. This keeps the lines short and allows us to know exactly where the wool comes from and where it has been before it ends up in our shop. All Schaapjeswol is hand-dyed, sometimes with plants, but also with environmentally friendly dyes.
