A beautiful, strong sock yarn with the added strength and warmth of mohair. A traditional addition to sock yarns, mohair has strong antibacterial and wicking properties. This yarn takes the dye really nicely, it speckles well, and colours are bright and clear. The knitted fabric is smooth with a marvellous, even stitch definition and delicate halo. We suggest using 2.25mm needles to knit socks in this yarn.
