Why should mods have all the fun? Made from premium kid mohair, this exceptionally soft, glossy yarn comes in an array of luminous colors with '60s swing.
This versatile fiber is known for being cool in summer and warm in winter. Mohair breathes, absorbing and releasing atmospheric moisture and controlling its own 'climate' to ensure optimal comfort. Products made from mohair have an innate elasticity, which ensures they hold their shape. Kid mohair fiber is from baby, or kid, goats at 6 months and 12 months. The coat is at its softest before the goat matures.
South African mohair is made from Angora goats which are not harmed at all in the twice-yearly fiber harvesting process.

Let's shag Mohair yarn? errrr a bit risqué...maybe shag has another signification in the US
Seriously soft and not itchy at all. There are definitely wool fibers that make me itch, but the Let's Shag yarn is awesome. I doubled up the yarn for my project for a faster knit
