The finest quality of mohair, of which Top Line is among the world’s greatest consumer, is that obtained from the first shearing. It is called superkid or superfine, and is that shorn from ony the youngest kids, usually those five or six months old.

The fineness of mohair, the determining factor of its quality, is measured in microns. Super kid that qualify for the name “baby” is from 24 to 26 microns thick.

The second shearing, performed after six months, produces kid of 27 to 28 microns of extremely fine quality, but not as soft as the first shearing.

The third and fouth shearing, giving the name Young goats or Yearlings, produce a relatively fine fibre, 30 to 33 microns thick, that can be used for medium fine years, for fabric and fine needlework.

From the fourth shearing on the fibre becomes adult mohair, from 30 to 40 microns, which although still an excellent fibre, can be used for needle work of medium quality, for bedspreads, shawls, etc.

Top Line chooses super kid or kid mohair fibre as our mohair yarn material, which is of much higher grade than normal factory. Mohair yarn of high quality material has softer and comfortable hand feel and touch. Many world fashion designers and manufacturer favors Top Line fancy yarn.
