Named for long and wild tufts of grass, Tussock is like tousled bundles of pure joy!

• Spun and dyed in Japan, Tussock is 60% super fine kid mohair and 40% silk, a beautiful blend for absorbing color and reflecting tones.
• Super fine kid mohair is the highest quality available, made from the first shearing of Angora goats, and it is oh-so soft, lending warmth and body to the yarn. The silk is mulberry silk noil, which comes from the short fibers of the finest silk and, making up 40% of the yarn, adds significant luster, strength, and beauty.
• Tussock is technically a fine laceweight, but blooms so beautifully that we prefer to use it as a fingering weight yarn on US 3-6 needles.
• Gorgeous as a single strand, this feather-light fiber also plays beautifully in pairs or even trios for your own invention of a watercolor-y marle, or try it alongside other yarns, for plumping up a companion or adding an unexpected touch. Explore our collection of knititng patterns in Tussock for some lovely ideas!
• Tussock comes in 26 gorgeous colors, all inspired by nature’s fruitfulness: juicy, ripe berries and mimosas in bloom, lapping waters and zippy wildflowers.

Be happy to know that the mohair in Tussock, which comes from South Africa, meets the Responsible Mohair Standard, a rigorous certification that recognizes a progressive approach to managing land and a commitment to treating goats ethically and responsibly.
