Japan Wool Mohair Blends Self-striping Brushed Yarn

This brushed cone yarn, spun in Japan at a 1/13Nm count, features a soft halo and expressive self-striping effect created through industrial dyeing and fiber blending. The surface is airy and dimensional, while the core structure remains stable and suitable for both hand and machine work.

Fiber composition is not specified by the mill. Based on burn testing, the brushed halo fibers are predominantly animal-based (estimated 90%+), burning to ash-like powder — a characteristic consistent with wool and mohair-type fibers. This gives the yarn warmth, elasticity, and a soft, clouded texture that blooms beautifully when worked.

As an industrial surplus yarn, this cone reflects Japanese mill precision and material integrity, offering makers a distinctive blend of texture, movement, and quiet visual rhythm.

Important Notes

• Exact fiber percentages are unknown; information is based on physical testing and handling characteristics

• Some cones may be rewound onto empty cones and may not include original mill labels

• Light surface dust or storage marks may be present

• Sold as-is, without retail packaging

• All yarns are 100% functional with no visible flaws or defects affecting usability.

• Please note that cone yarn is wound in an industrial format.
  In rare cases, internal breaks may not be visible from the outside of the cone.

• Please allow approximately 2%–3% knitting loss, which is standard for cone yarn handling.

• In case of yarn breaks, pull away about 10 cm of yarn before rejoining and secure with a small cross-knot to reduce tension and avoid distortion in the knitted fabric.
