About Le Gros Silk & Mohair
Le Gros Silk & Mohair is composed of 28% Mulberry Silk and 72% Super Kid Mohair, creating a beautifully soft and luxurious quality. We developed Le Gros Silk & Mohair with our producers in Italy, presenting a color palette with matching colors to Le Petit Lambswool, as well as some unique shades

You can knit Le Gros Silk & Mohair single-stranded or double-stranded, or even held together with another yarn such as Le Petit Lambswool or Le Petit Organic Cotton

Colors
We photographed the skeins so you can see the closest possible representation of the actual colors, but there may be slight variations from one screen to another, as well as from one dye lot to the next.

Dying & Finishing
Le Gros Silk & Mohair is spun and dyed in Italy, in mills renowned for their expertise and for their respectful, responsible practices toward both the environment and the people who work there.

The Silk
The silk we use comes from leftover silk and from cocoons from which the butterflies have already emerged ensuring a fiber made with respect for animal life.

The Mohair
Our mohair comes from South African farms committed to sustainable and respectful practices. The Angora goats are shorn gently by skilled hands, in calm and safe conditions. They live outdoors, have access to fresh water, veterinary care, and are protected from predators. These farms follow the principles of the Responsible Mohair Standard (RMS): ensuring animal welfare, responsible pasture management, and nature-friendly practices. It is an ethical and sustainable production — a regenerative approach that preserves soil, protects water, maintains biodiversity, and secures the future of the fiber. A complete approach where the quality of the yarn and respect for life go hand in hand.
