“Pur Mohair” the authentic essence of France
Porcs-épics Tricoteur loves from the bottom of the heart “Pur Mohair” from Au Fil des Nuage! We’ve already had the opportunity to create patterns with this yarn, such as the “‘Crockery’ Lopi sweater”, the “Snood La colonne” and the “Rhombus and Faux-Daphne Leaves” Top-Down Vest“.
This graceful and thick mohair, “Made in France” seduced us thanks to its softness and lightness, but also its shimmering and deep colors that have very French nuances: clear and chic.
It is an authentic mohair yarn labelled “Mohair des Fermes de France”*, unique in its kind, originating from an ancestral know-how: it contains only Angora goat hair, without mixing with sheep wool, lovingly raised by a Perigord producer, “La Ferme des 4 Vents”. Eco-responsible and authentic, their production meets the highest standards of quality that can be obtained while respecting the conditions of animal welfare and the environment.
This farm was founded in 2011 by Mathieu and Audrey, a young brother and sister duo. They have revived a family heritage that has been sleeping for more than a decade, revived forgotten lands, and rediscovered immemorial, environmentally friendly know-how. They are part of a circular economy approach, for example, unused mohair or waste washing operations are recycled to a third-party sector.
Their balls consist of hairs sorted by hand by selecting the strands of the highest quality. The result is very soft and pleasant to knit and wear!
Porcs-épics Tricoteur is delighted to discover and make discover these talents of the rural world and raw materials from an authentic terroir, such as this Pur Mohair from “La Ferme des 4 Vents”. We hope to make them known to the whole world:)
The farmhouse has open doors during the summer. You can also find their beautiful yarns directly in their shop.
Visit them, and meet their merry herd of goats!
