OEM mohair cardigans for Nigerian brands and importers — kid mohair-silk blends, brushed halo construction and open-front silhouettes, produced in Gaziantep, Turkey with an English-language tech-pack and communication workflow.
A mohair cardigan lives or dies on its halo — the lustre, the soft bloom and the tactile quality are hard to fake in synthetic alternatives. We produce brushed mohair cardigans and kid mohair-silk blend pieces on flat-knit machines at gauges that let the fibre bloom correctly, under your label. Proper brushing technique, hand-finishing and in-house QC are what separate a mohair piece that photographs and sells from one that pills and is returned — and clean origin paperwork that moves smoothly through Form M, PAAR and SONCAP clearance at Lagos.
Kid mohair-silk blend (72/28 — the luxury standard), brushed adult mohair, mohair-merino blend for structure. European-spun yarns with full origin documentation for your SONCAP file.
2gg to 10gg depending on fibre blend and desired halo density. Our team advises on the right gauge for your silhouette — halo density changes significantly between 3gg and 5gg.
In-house brushing for a consistent halo. Multiple passes for a deeper bloom, single-pass for a lighter hand. Steaming and garment finishing to set the shape before packing.
Open-front cardigan, button cardigan, oversized drop-shoulder, belted wrap. Long-length and cropped proportions both well-suited to mohair's drape characteristics.
The 72/28 kid mohair-silk blend is the yarn behind most of the high-halo cardigans appearing in premium knitwear. The kid mohair provides the soft, fine halo; the silk adds structure, luminosity and prevents excessive stretch. We source from European spinners — predominantly Italian and Portuguese mills — with full fibre origin records that travel with the shipment for your SON registration and SONCAP documentation.
At 5–7gg in a kid mohair-silk, the finished cardigan reads premium at a retail point that works for independent Nigerian brands and boutiques. The FOB price is higher than a merino or cotton piece, but the retail multiple justifies it — mohair-silk cardigans typically carry the highest margin per unit in a knitwear range. A premium import line like this complements Nigeria's own Kaduna-rooted textile base rather than competing with it.
Let's be honest about the one thing it is not: it is not a customs play. Turkey has no free-trade agreement with Nigeria, so our knitwear pays the full ECOWAS Common External Tariff — roughly 20% plus import levy and VAT, with some textile lines pushed as high as 35%. China has no FTA with Nigeria either, so it pays the same CET. There is no tariff advantage over China, and price is not our pitch.
What Turkey gives a Nigerian brand is everything else: mohair knitted and brushed to the same hand quality as established European mills; genuine flat-knit and WHOLEGARMENT capability in-house; a real China-plus-one alternative for importers de-risking a single-source supply chain; and — uniquely useful here — an English-language tech-pack and communication workflow, so your specification, grading and approvals never get lost in translation. Turkish brands are already familiar at retail (LC Waikiki and others), which makes a premium Turkish-made mohair line an easy sell.
Indicative FOB Mersin ranges for mohair cardigans at 250–500 pcs MOQ. Exact pricing depends on gauge, fibre blend, brushing approach and order volume. We quote and contract in USD/LC, since the Naira (NGN) can move sharply between order and delivery.
| Style | Gauge | Indicative FOB |
|---|---|---|
| Brushed adult mohair cardigan | 3–5gg | $28–42 |
| Kid mohair-silk blend cardigan (72/28) | 5–7gg | $45–70 |
| Mohair-merino blend, button cardigan | 5–7gg | $35–50 |
Indicative FOB Mersin. Add ocean freight (Mersin to Lagos — Apapa, Tin Can or Lekki — is roughly 10–14 days), the ECOWAS CET plus levy and VAT, and NICIS II clearance and SONCAP for landed cost in Lagos.
Kid mohair comes from the first clips of an Angora goat kid (under 12 months), with a finer fibre diameter (23–28 micron) and a softer halo than adult mohair (30–40 micron). For premium cardigans, kid mohair blended with silk (commonly 72/28) gives the lightweight, luminous halo. Adult mohair gives a fuller, heavier halo at a lower price point.
Brushed mohair cardigans are usually knitted at 2gg–5gg so the fibre can bloom and form the halo after brushing. Finer mohair-silk blends can run at 7–10gg for a lighter, more structured garment. We advise on the right gauge for your silhouette and price point.
No. Turkey has no FTA with Nigeria, so we pay the full ECOWAS Common External Tariff — the same CET China pays. There is no tariff advantage over China. We compete on quality, China-plus-one diversification, in-house flat-knit and WHOLEGARMENT capability and an English-language workflow — not on duty or price.
250 pieces per colour, per size. Designed for Nigerian brands and importers building considered capsule ranges rather than committing to mass container volume up front.
Send a reference style, fibre brief or tech pack. We'll advise on gauge, fibre blend and brushing approach — and return a capacity check, indicative FOB price and a sample timeline within one business day, all in English, with the documentation your importer needs for Form M and PAAR.

Adult mohair gives a fuller, heavier halo at a lower price point. Yarn is supplied with full origin documentation for your SONCAP and SON registration file.
