Knitting for Olive Soft Silk Mohair is a luxurious blend of the finest Kid Mohair and Mulberry silk.
The Mohair comes from angora goats bred in South Africa, and the yarn is produced in Europe. The yarns are traceable back to the individual farms, which means we know exactly which farms, farmers, and goats our wool comes from.
The Mohair meets the Responsible Wool Standard (RWS) which ensures that animals, farmers, and the environment are treated respectfully. It also means RWS farms protect soil health, biodiversity, and native species. The spinning mill follows ethical, technical, and environmental standards, creating yarns free from harmful chemicals.
The Silk in Soft Silk Mohair is cruelty free. The silk fibers are collected from cocoons after the chrysalises are allowed to mature into moths and escape. This means that the silk worms are not killed in the process as they are in conventional silk production.
