Mohair Yarns

Explore mohair yarn in NZ at Wild & Woolly Yarns, from fine silk-mohair blends to textured and heavier mohair yarns. Mohair is known for its soft halo, gentle sheen and lightweight warmth, making it a lovely choice for scarves, shawls, jumpers and layering pieces.

If you are choosing a fine mohair yarn, check the product details for fibre content, metreage and recommended tension. Silk-mohair yarns can be knitted on their own for an airy fabric or held together with another yarn to add softness and a delicate halo. Heavier mohair blends work well when you want more texture and warmth.

Browse the yarns below to compare fibre blends and colours, or explore our 2ply and 3ply yarn and 8ply / DK yarn collections for other options. For project inspiration, visit our knitting patterns.

Shop online throughout New Zealand or visit our Milford store for help choosing mohair yarn that suits your project.

Choose the right mohair yarn

For light, airy layers or holding together with another yarn: compare Sesia Vivienne 2ply Silk Mohair, Sandnes Garn Tynn Silk Mohair and African Expressions HOPE 2ply Mohair. These are useful options to compare by fibre blend, metreage and colour.

For a thicker, more textured project: explore African Expressions LOVE 12ply Mohair. A heavier mohair yarn behaves differently from fine silk mohair, so check the pattern tension and finished fabric before substituting one for another. Always select an available shade on the product page.
