Fonty - Umbrella - colors 2004 - buttercup (price for 1 ball - mohair/wool)

OMBELLE belongs to the mohair yarn family.
OMBELLE combines 75% mohair fibre, which provides a misty, fuzzy, and fluffy aspect, with a binding fibre ("core of the yarn") made of 20% natural wool and 5% polyamide material; the latter adds strength and elasticity while helping to form the loops. Mohair fibre is the fleece of this particular breed of goats originating from the Caucasus, now mostly raised on the high plateaus of South Africa, although high-quality breeding has been developing in France for several years. Fonty selects fine, long, and uniform fibres from herds of young animals.

OMBELLE can be knitted alone, doubled, or even tripled, or mixed with other yarns to achieve subtle blends combining the visual effect of mohair with the properties of other materials (softness, shine, elasticity, durability). The range of OMBELLE colours is wide, mixing very bright tones with more neutral shades.
