FROM FLEECES TO YARN
Rest assured that our yarn is authentic, comes from well-treated animals, and has been processed by small Canadian fibre mills.
After shearing our Angora goats (in Spring and Fall), we sort and clean the fleeces to remove dirty parts and as much vegetation (hay, straw) as possible in order to get the best quality product. Then, we send them to the fibre mill where they will be washed, carded, spun in rovings and yarn.
When we receive the cones, we put them in skeins, wash, hand dye them and finally rewind them so they are ready to be in your hands. During all these steps, the remaining vegetation will be removed.
But it can happen that you still find some hay stuck in the roving or yarn in which case the best advice is to remove them by hand while you are working on your project.
Don’t let that stop you from enjoying the incomparable softness of our mohair. We wish you a good time of knitting, crocheting, weaving, spinning, felting,... !!
