This yarn is 80% Mohair and 20% Merino wool blended together for one of the softest natural blends you will find. Soft enough for baby items. The felting potential is unrivaled. Mohair gives off a haze or sheen when felted - you won't be disappointed.

Rancho Descansamos was started in 2004 in Wells, Vermont. We are a three-generational family, some of whom are from Mexico. We raise a variety of goats, including pygmys, angoras, and several adoptees who are living out their natural lives with us as pets. We have other barnyard animals as well.
We raise the angora goats for their fiber and sell it as rovings, as well as processing the fleece from four of a neighbor's sheep, two each Cotswold/Leister and Shetland. All of the animals enjoy the lush summers in Vermont where they are able to graze in the pastures of our farm. We grow our own hay and supplement with alfalfa and grain in the winter.
If you would be interested in the raw fiber of any of our animals, contact us in early March or early September.
