Sustainability
The Process
Our mohair yarn is responsibly sourced from Adéle’s Mohair, a local yarn producer known for their commitment to fair trade and green practices, which adheres to the Responsible Mohair Standards (RMS).
Renowned as one of the world's most luxurious natural materials, mohair offers exceptional warmth while allowing the body to breathe. We obtain the finest mohair fibres from Angora goats that roam freely across the Greater Karoo region and are shorn twice a year. This wool is then skilfully spun into an incredibly soft, lightweight, and silky yarn. The yarn is then naturally dyed in carefully selected colours. Once prepared, it is passed on to our community of thirty knitters, spanning six decades in age, located in Cape Town.
The result is an exceptional collection of knitwear, characterised by its unparalleled quality. Each piece is truly unique, bearing the mark of the knitters’ own individual techniques and handling of the yarn. It is these differences, these wonderful, unrepeatable nuances that make our Mo-hey range so extraordinarily special.
