Mohair

We have a small flock of high quality Angora goats producing fine mohair. They are shorn twice a year and are housed after winter shearing to prevent them becoming too cold. All our kids are fibre tested and we breed to retain the exceptional fineness for which we have become well known. Fibre from our goats has been used for designer collections in Antwerp , Tokyo and London .

We sell raw fibre for hand spinning or finished yarn spun to the same weight as our cashmere. Mohair dyes beautifully having a softness and lustre which is hard to beat (except by our cashmere!). It is surprisingly hard wearing. I hand spin and use the coarser adult mohair for rugs which take a good deal of punishment on the floor of our farmhouse. The soft kid mohair makes beautiful baby goods or an unusual knitted cover for an MP3 player.
