Lanar 73 Superkid Mohair 27 Polyamide Brushed Cone Yarn · 1/9.5Nm · Italy

This brushed superkid mohair yarn from the Italian house Lanar S.p.A. pairs the softest grade of mohair with a fine polyamide core, creating a light, airy yarn with a signature halo and a weightless, luminous handfeel. Spun at 1/9.5Nm, it is exceptionally fine, making it ideal for delicate, ethereal knitwear worked alone or held together with other yarns.

This yarn is available in a range of colorways, each understated and atmospheric, with a quiet depth that feels modern and considered. Every tone is especially suitable for timeless knitwear, soft layering pieces, and minimal aesthetic designs where lightness and glow matter.

As an industrial surplus yarn, this cone provides consistency in spinning quality while maintaining flexibility for creative development. Superkid mohair brings a soft, brushed halo and gentle warmth, while the polyamide core adds strength and stability to a very fine, delicate yarn.

Important Notes

• This yarn is very fine, light, and brushed, with a soft halo — it is often held together with other yarns for more coverage
• For best results, swatch before production to test tension and fabric density
• Cone yarn is different from skein yarn and must always be swatched before knitting to evaluate shrinkage and gauge
• As a delicate brushed yarn, gentle handling and low-heat care are recommended to preserve the halo and softness
• A gentle brush after knitting can lift and enhance the mohair halo
• Please note that colors may vary slightly from screen to actual yarn depending on display settings
• For added color depth or texture, it can be held together with silk, wool, or other fine yarns
• Some cones may be rewound onto empty cones without original mill labels
• May have mild outer dust or storage marks
• 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 5%–6% waste, 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
