比較的極太系のオリジナル毛糸が多いニッティングバードから待望の「極細糸」が登場。

その名も「いつも」

最高ランクのひとつに数えられる、「エキストラベビーキッドモヘヤ」はまるでモヘヤ
とは思えない極上の触り心地が特徴です。

モヘヤ素材は「チクチクする」「毛が抜ける」と思っている人も多いと思いますが、通常マーケットに出回らない南アフリカ産の希少なモヘヤ原料を選定し、その良さを十二分に活かす為に改良に改良を加えた独自の紡績機により、ゆっくりと手間暇をかけてつくっています。

生産効率を低くしてまでゆっくりと紡績することで、繊維同士が滑りやすく均一にしづらいモヘヤを、できる限り均一の太さにすることに成功しました。編んだ時の編み目の綺麗さは他のモヘヤとは比べ物になりません。

20g共通で「極細タイプ(240m)」と「超極細タイプ(540m)」の二種類の太さがあります。

極細タイプは1本で繊細に使っても○

2本以上引き揃えたり、他の糸と引き揃えても雰囲気がぐっと変わります。

超極細タイプはシルクの配分が増え、より繊細になっていますので、2本以上や他の糸と引き揃えて0号以上のレース針で編むのをオススメしています。

Extra Baby Kid Mohair with a Silk Core

Extra Baby Kid Mohair“ is one of the highest grade mohair
It is characterized by its superb touch and feel, which is hard to believe that it is mohair.

Many people think that mohair is “prickly” or “sheds,” but we select rare South African mohair raw materials, which are not usually available in the market, and make them slowly and laboriously using our unique spinning machines, which have been improved upon to fully utilize their good qualities.

By spinning slowly and with low production efficiency, we have succeeded in making mohair as uniform in thickness as possible, which is difficult to achieve because the fibers tend to slide easily between each other. The beautiful knit of this mohair when knitted is incomparable to other mohair.
The atmosphere changes dramatically when two or more yarns are drawn together or with other yarns.

This yarn more delicate, so we recommend knitting with two or more yarns or with other yarns on No. 0 or larger lace needles.

This silk mohair is more beautiful in washing fresh water (about 30 degrees Celsius) than in hot water.

We recommend “hand washing” for knit products knitted with this yarn, though, because it is a high quality yarn.

Unlike wool or acrylic-infused mohair, this silk mohair does not shrink, so if you use the centrifugal force of the washing machine without friction, you can see the fur coming out from between the eyes.

Also, the type of washing machine, time, bath ratio, and course will affect the texture.

Please be careful not to knit loosely in a single strand, or knit long horizontal strips, as they are prone to deformation.
We recommend knitting a small swatch and test washing it as a test.
