Mohair yarn for knitting lightweight garments with an elegant design

Q: What projects can I knit with mohair yarn?

Mohair really shines in lightweight garments with drape: shawls, stoles, cowls, boleros and fine jumpers. Its halo creates an airy, elegant finish, and it provides plenty of warmth for how little it weighs. It is not the most suitable fibre for amigurumi or pieces with very defined stitches, where you can see other options in our yarn compositions.

Q: Can mohair yarn be knitted together with another yarn?

Yes, and it is one of the most common ways to knit with it. Mohair yarns combine very well double-stranded with a wool or alpaca base yarn: you add their halo and lightness without losing the structure of the main yarn. It is a technique widely used in Nordic patterns to create soft, warm garments with subtle volume.

Which mohair yarn should you choose for your project?

To choose your mohair yarn well, start with the project: this fibre comes into its own in lightweight garments with drape, such as shawls, stoles, cowls and fine jumpers, where its halo creates an airy, fluffy fabric without adding weight. Most are balls of lace-weight mohair, the finest thickness.

Super kid mohair, from the youngest goats, is the finest and softest version: it does not itch and can be worn directly against the skin. Mohair yarns stand out for these qualities when knitting:

▷ Lightness: volume and an airy halo without adding weight to the garment.
▷ Warmth: they provide plenty of warmth for how little they weigh.
▷ Softness: kid and super kid are suitable for sensitive skin.
▷ Yardage: a fine ball offers many metres per gram and goes a long way.

Mohair Yarn, Best in a Blend: Silk, Merino or Acrylic

It is almost never knitted on its own: because of its low elasticity, it is usually combined with other fibres that give it structure and strength without taking away its softness. That is why you will find mohair yarns in blends with silk, merino or acrylic, each with a different finish:

▷ Mohair with silk: drape, shine and lightness; the leading blend for airy garments.
▷ Mohair with merino: more elasticity and structure; a forgiving choice for beginners.
▷ Mohair with acrylic: easier to care for, while maintaining its distinctive halo.

You will find mohair yarns in different combinations; in all of them, mohair yarn performs best when paired with another fibre. Always knit a swatch first: the halo settles after a few rows and, when steamed, releases all its volume.

Why buy your mohair yarn from Garmon Yarns?

At Garmon Yarns, we work as direct importers of Turkish brands and distributors of leading European brands, with a carefully curated selection of mohair yarns. You can buy mohair yarn online with genuine advice: buying quality mohair makes all the difference to the final result of your garment.

Whether you are looking for balls of mohair for a first shawl or a mohair yarn to combine and work double-stranded, silk shares that silky feel and the same elegant drape.

For garments with more body and memory, merino wool is a popular companion for mohair worked double-stranded.

And for lightweight warmth with a very soft feel, alpaca is another noble fibre to consider.
