Product Description:
Hand painted yarn 100g. fine mohair laceweight bright flame orange The base yarn for this is a skein of 80% fine mohair from the angora goat, and 20% acrylic. The acrylic strengthens the yarn (you do not want breaks in lace knitting) and reduces the risk of pilling, but at 80% natural fibre the yarn remains soft - nothing like the itchy sort of mohair some people remember from the 1980s!! I dip dyed then hand painted this one in vivid shades of orange, with just a touch of pink and flame red blended in.The last picture gives an idea of the colour blocks, before the yarn was re-skeined.Site:
