Washing Instructions Gentle Wool Wash

[Description][Tynn Silk Mohair is a luxurious blend of the finest mohair, wool and silk. The yarn is thin and very generous in use. If you knit Tynn Silk Mohair with one or more threads, you will get a light, airy and luxurious garment. Or you can use it blended with other yarns. 

Mohair is wool from the Angora goat. This is a breed of goat that has long, silky, curly wool fibers. Regular wool is added to give the yarn elasticity and volume. The silk adds strength and shine while also holding the fibers together when they are brushed. This creates a soft, light, and airy yarn with a shaggy appearance.

If you are washing in a machine, we recommend that all wool garments are washed separately on a wool program for the most gentle treatment. Spin well and dry the garment flat, preferably on top of a towel. Never use a laundry bag when washing hand-knitted wool garments. This creates friction that can cause the garment to pill.]
