Words simply cannot describe how soft this yarn is. This is a lusciously soft light worsted weight yarn that can be worked on smaller needles to produce a luxurious, dense soft fabric. Or work it on larger needles allowing it to bloom after washing and you will have a fluffy traditional mohair (almost angora in texture) piece.

No matter what you make using it you are sure to adore its cuddly next-to-the-skin softness.

Swan’s Down yarn is spun (in a Canadian fibre mill) using the fleeces from our really young angora goats, raised on our family farm.
Their fibre is blended with wool for added memory to help your garments keep their shape.

We kettle dye (hand-dye) many skeins for you in several colours using acid dyes.

Undyed skeins are also an excellent choice for hand-painted yarns or any dyeing project you may have in mind.


Knitting kits for this yarn are available on our website
