CARE INSTRUCTIONS

For mohair knitwear, airing the garment outdoors is usually all the care it needs. Fresh air allows the fibres to relax and naturally refresh themselves. Treat stains locally by gently dabbing them with a cloth moistened with diluted detergent. Use a liquid detergent specifically formulated for washing wool and silk. Finally, rinse the stained area with clean water.

When washing is necessary, turn the garment inside out and gently hand wash it in plenty of water at a maximum temperature of 30°C. Rinse the garment gently, moving it lightly through the water. Do not rub, wring or twist the garment. Remove excess water by laying the garment flat and rolling it gently inside a terry towel, pressing lightly. Reshape the garment to its original measurements and dry it flat. Avoid heat and direct sunlight while drying. Do not spin. Do not tumble dry.

Once the garment is completely dry, gently brush it with a soft clothes brush. Brushing helps lift compressed fibres and restore the yarn's natural fluffy appearance.

Always store mohair knitwear folded on a shelf rather than on a hanger. A hanger can stretch the airy, handmade fabric and distort its shape.

A delicate silk mohair yarn for elegant knitwear. H.COUTURE Kid Silk Nuance brings together exceptional lightness and sophistication. At its core is beautifully lustrous silk fibre, delicately surrounded by soft kid mohair. The result is a yarn that feels both wonderfully silky and irresistibly fluffy. As mohair and silk absorb colour slightly differently, the yarn has a lively, subtle tonal quality that reflects light and creates beautiful depth.

Kid Silk Nuance is exceptionally generous in yardage: each small, wonderfully fluffy 25 g ball contains as much as 210 m of beautiful yarn. Our collection is available in 8 stunning shades.

Kid Silk Nuance is designed especially for those who appreciate elegant and timeless accessories and garments. Knit a delicate neckerchief, a lightweight cardigan or a slipover, or perhaps a beautiful short-sleeved sweater for a truly special occasion. Just four small balls are enough for a women's size M sweater. The yarn can be knitted on its own, held double, or combined with another lightweight yarn.

Kid Silk Nuance is particularly well suited to lace knitting, a variety of ribbed patterns and delicate textured stitches.

What is Mohair?

Mohair fibre comes from Angora goats raised in Turkey and South Africa, which are shorn once or twice a year. Mohair is exceptionally lightweight, lustrous, warm and durable. Kid mohair is obtained from the first shearing of young goats. It is particularly fine, soft and precious.

As mohair yarn is naturally slippery, we recommend using wooden or bamboo knitting needles. The slightly textured surface of the needles provides the necessary grip, helping stitches and yarn overs remain even and consistent.

Use the larger needle sizes indicated in the recommended needle size range. A relaxed, airy gauge allows the natural fluffiness of the mohair to develop, creating a delicate, cloud-like halo effect across the surface of the knitted fabric. A fabric knitted too tightly will flatten the mohair's natural softness and loft.

This yarn belongs to Laines du Nord's high-quality H.Couture collection. It is manufactured in Avigliana, in the Piedmont region of Italy. The yarn has been awarded the OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 certification [23CX00111 CENTROCOT].
