Knitting for Olive Soft Silk Mohair is a luxurious blend of the finest Kid Mohair and Mulberry silk. Soft Silk Mohair comes from angora goats bred in South Africa, and the yarn is also produced locally. The yarns are traceable back to the individual farms, knowing exactly which farms, farmers, and goats our wool comes from. Soft Silk Mohair is certified sustainable and RMS (Responsible Mohair Standard). The yarn is produced with high respect for animal wellbeing, and with social responsibility. Spinning mill follows ethical, technical and environmental standards, creating yarns free from harmful chemicals. The Silk in Soft Silk Mohair is cruelty free.
