At Woolson, you don’t have to give up a stylish, stunning wardrobe for sustainability. Here you experience the best of both worlds and today we're diving into the enchanting world of mohair. A fiber so fabulous it could be spun by fairies. If you're a fan of soft, shiny, and oh-so-durable crochet pieces, you'll love what we have to share about mohair and its incredible sustainability.
Mohair: Nature's Gift to Fashion
Imagine a fiber that's as soft as a cloud, gleams like morning dew, and has the strength you wouldn’t imagine. That’s mohair for you! Sourced from the magnificent Angora goats, mohair is a natural fiber that brings luxury and sustainability together in a perfect blend.
Goats Living the Dream
At the heart of sustainable mohair production are happy, healthy Angora goats living their best lives. Ethical mohair farms prioritize:
- Goat Glamour: Goats that are pampered with lush pastures, healthy diets, and gentle shearing practices.
- Eco-Friendly Grazing: These farms use rotational grazing to keep the land healthy and vibrant. It’s a win-win for the goats and the planet!
- Community Love: Many of these farms are small, family-owned operations that support local communities. When you buy mohair, you’re helping families thrive and traditions continue.
Why Mohair is Earth Friendly
- Biodegradable Beauty: Mohair is a natural, biodegradable fiber. That means your mohair garments won’t be hanging around in a landfill for centuries. They’ll return to the earth, just like magic.
- Chemical-Free Chic: Producing mohair doesn’t require harsh chemicals, so it’s kind to the environment from start to finish.
- Long-Lasting Love: Mohair’s strength and durability means our crochet creations will stay fabulous for years. Less replacing and wasting, more loving!
Crafting with Mohair: A Dream Come True
When you crochet with mohair, every stitch feels like a little bit of magic. Its natural elasticity and resilience allow for intricate, eye-catching designs that keep their shape and splendor. The luxurious feel and dazzling shine of mohair turn every garment into a showstopper.

At Woolson, we’re committed to sustainability in every thread. We source our mohair from farms that uphold the highest standards of animal welfare and eco-friendly practices (i.e. knitting for olive).
