100g (3.536 oz) – Double knitting DK (8 ply, light worsted weight) … lustrous and beautifully soft 50% Wensleydale blended with 50% finest kid mohair and spun to 4/8.8 Nm in accordance with BS984.

Mohair comes from an Angora Goat.  Don't get that confused with 'Angora' which comes from the Angora Rabbit.  Believe it or not, there is no relation between the two animals and despite the similar name, Mohair and Angora fibre are very different.  

We have chosen to blend our Wensleydale with Mohair as we believe that goat Mohair is one of the finest natural fibres with a rich history.  High welfare Mohair is expensive and in rare supply which makes our Mohair wool luxurious to own.  Our own unique blend is very lustrous and incredibly resilient, even for how lightweight it feels.  The natural colour is stunning and both Mohair and Wensleydale love to be dyed.  Perfect partners.

Our yarn boasts fantastic stitch definition and drape.  It is super silky, smooth, soft and very lustrous.  Wensleydale is a versatile yarn and will knit to a standard tension.  Ideal for any wool knitting or crochet pattern.  Please see our table below for further information.

My preference for needle size is 3.75mm (US 5) although the recommended tension table is below.
