Kidluxe,
made in South Africa
|
Kidluxe is a delicate and premium quality bulky kid mohair yarn made in South Africa. It is dyed in solid colours and suitable for all-year-round hand knitting projects: from long cardigans and winter accessories to boleros and wraps for chilly summer days. Kidluxe is an extremely soft, next-to-the-skin (not itchy at all) yarn, moderately fluffy as all kinds of kid and baby kid mohairs, and unbrushed. It is smooth and easy to knit. As you know, South Africa is the breathtaking home of the international mohair industry, and mohair yarns manufactured in this country are the best quality.
Known facts: The grades of mohair
vary in different countries. In general, the best quality mohair is produced from the fleece of kid goats under six months old. Note that all kid mohairs have a slight brushed look because of their ultra softness.
