Mowool in Cider (6028) pairs the distinctive loft of brushed British wool with an earthy moss green that feels perfectly suited to the fiber.
Mowool is made from 100% brushed British wool. The fibers are worsted spun before being brushed, creating a soft halo around the yarn while retaining the natural advantages of wool. British wool's inherent crimp and elasticity help it recover through wear, while its ability to trap air provides natural insulation.
The length of the wool fibers is particularly important to Mowool. Once brushed, those fibers create generous loft without corresponding weight, giving the yarn the fuzzy, luxurious appearance associated with mohair while remaining entirely British sheep's wool.
At approximately 257 yards per 50g, Mowool offers considerable yardage in a remarkably lightweight yarn.
About the Cider Colorway
Cider is a mossy green, earthy and subdued rather than bright or jewel-toned. It sits comfortably among the olive, moss, and woodland greens, with the muted quality that makes these shades so easy to wear.
The brushed surface adds depth to the color. Light moves differently across the fine halo and the denser core of the yarn, keeping Cider from appearing flat even though green remains the dominant impression.
It's an especially natural pairing of color and fiber. The moss green and soft woolen halo give Cider a distinctly woodland character, making it a beautiful choice for sweaters, cardigans, scarves, cowls, and hats. It's also neutral enough to combine easily with oatmeal, gray, brown, cream, and other earthy shades.
Why Mowool Is Different
Mohair and alpaca are commonly used to create yarns with a pronounced halo. Mowool achieves a similar visual effect entirely with British sheep's wool.
Its long fibers are worsted spun and then brushed, producing a fuzzy surface while retaining wool's elasticity, warmth, and resilience. The construction creates substantial visual volume without making the finished fabric unnecessarily heavy.
For knitters who love the look of an airy, haloed yarn but want the character and performance of wool, Mowool offers something genuinely different.

A Note About Brushed Wool
The soft halo is an intentional characteristic of Mowool. In Cider, the brushed surface adds dimension to the moss green and reinforces its soft, earthy appearance.
For larger projects, we recommend purchasing enough yarn for the complete project at one time.
