Mohair really does take dye very well. Here are a few examples of wool dyed and mohair dyed in the same dye bath. Mohair in the left , Wool on the right.

 I’ve also found it blends really well with other fibers.

From “The Fiber of My Being” Etsy shop

Spinning 100% mohair is fun depending preparation can have different results. Mohair top seems to spin up compact and shiny with a few strands hanging out here and there. My kid mohair locks seemed to spin up thick and thin with tufts sticking out and looking much fuzzier than the top.

I love how the colored came out and the stuff I dyed at the top will be going into next weeks Butterfly Collection Series fiber.

Well I’m off to go tie myself up in mohair.
