Light and luxurious knitting with respect for people, environment and animals
Önling No 10 is a luxurious yarn where the properties of mohair fibers really shine. The yarn is incredibly warm, yet super light. Mohair is called a diamond fiber for its unique qualities and ability to keep you warm even though it's lighter than other types of yarn. You can knit with No 10 alone or use it with other yarns to add softness and a touch of luxury.

Önling No 10 Silk Mohair is the same type of yarn as Silk Mohair from e.g. Isager and Brushed Lace from Mohair by Canard, both in composition and yardage. That means that you can replace it 1:1 in patterns referring to these and other types of Silk Mohair.
Wool can last for years, but it requires good care. Washing is tough on your woolen garments and in general wool needs to be washed much less than other materials as it has a self-cleaning effect. Often it is enough to hang your woolen sweater / garment outside in the humid weather or bring it with you into the bathroom, when you take a long, hot shower - the steam will often be enough to freshen it up it and remove any unwanted odors.
Specifically for knitwear knitted in Önling's Everyday Kit
Neither Önling No 12 nor No 13, is pre-washed when you receive it on cones. You get the best result if you soak your finished knitted garment in lukewarm water for approx. 2 hours. Then wash the garment as you would otherwise with washing detergent for wool, either by hand or on a wool program in your washing machine. Dry it by laying it flat.
Specifically for knitwear knitted in Önling's Silk kit
As the Silk Kit from Önling contains 3 different qualities (linen, wool and silk), we recommend that you always wash your silk sweater / garment by hand, to avoid it changing shape or appearance during wash. The three qualities will react differently to water, temperatures, etc. Önling can not take responsibility for the result if you wash your silk sweater in the washing machine. Your garment made from the silk kit should NOT be spun or tumble dried. Instead, dry it by laying it flat.
