Sandnes Garn Tynn Silk Mohair

A soft and luxurious blend of mohair, wool and silk.  Mohair, from the Angora goat, is a silky, long, smooth fibre.  Sheeps wool is added and makes the yarn more robust and silk adds strength and shine as well as holding the other fibres together.  It is a light and airy yarn with a soft and fuzzy texture. 

Used as a trailing or accompanying yarn you will get a soft and beautiful result with good hold. Used alone with one or more strands, you will get a light and luxurious garment.
