In recent years, mohair has made a comeback on runways and in creative studios. Its light, airy fibers with their delicate touch have once again captured the hearts of designers and knitting enthusiasts for their ability to turn a simple garment into a sensory experience.
It’s no surprise that mohair is now among the most sought-after yarns: it offers ethereal textures, soft volume, and a natural sheen that beautifully reflects the light, making every creation unique and sophisticated.
Timeless Charm of Kid Mohair
Kid Mohair, obtained from the first shearing of the Angora goat, is synonymous with delicacy and luxury. Its fine, silky fibers often blend with silk itself, creating a yarn that is featherlight yet warm and durable. The result is garments that gently caress the skin — soft, enveloping, and almost weightless — perfect for mid-season layering or as an extra touch of warmth in winter.
This perfect balance between lightness and warmth is what makes Kid Mohair one of the most beloved yarns among knitters and crocheters who appreciate elegance combined with comfort.
Poema Mohair: The Poetry of Gradient Shades
With Poema Mohair, Laines du Nord reimagines the mohair trend with a contemporary twist.
Each 50 g skein (420 meters) features a delicate gradient effect that unfolds in harmonious and refined color transitions. The eight sophisticated color combinations — modern, versatile, and full of personality — allow crafters to create one-of-a-kind pieces without changing yarn or managing multiple joins.
Just one skein is enough to knit scarves, shawls, or soft cowls, while two skeins will yield a light sweater or an elegant cardigan — perfect for a refined and modern wardrobe. The yarn glides effortlessly on both knitting needles and crochet hooks, keeping stitches well-defined while preserving its softness and transparency. It’s ideal for lace patterns, layered effects, or double-strand work, where mohair’s signature halo adds depth and a dreamy finish.
