OEM mohair cardigans for US brands — kid mohair-silk blends, brushed halo construction and open-front silhouettes. Produced in Turkey with the hand-finishing that a mohair piece demands.
Mohair is a trending fibre in US contemporary and luxury knitwear — the halo, the lustre, the tactile quality are hard to replicate in synthetic alternatives. We produce brushed mohair cardigans and kid mohair-silk blend pieces on flat-knit machines at gauges that allow the fibre to bloom correctly. Hand-finishing, proper brushing technique and in-house QC are what separate a mohair piece that photographs and sells from one that pills and returns.
Kid mohair-silk blend (72/28 — the luxury standard), brushed adult mohair, mohair-merino blend for structure. European-spun yarns with origin documentation.
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 consistent halo. Multiple passes for 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 US contemporary and luxury 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.
At 5–7gg in a kid mohair-silk, the finished cardigan reads premium at a price point that works for independent US brands with $250–$450 retail. 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 collection.

Kid mohair comes from the first three clips of an Angora goat kid (under 12 months) and has a finer fibre diameter (typically 23–28 micron) and softer halo than standard adult mohair (30–40 micron). For cardigans, kid mohair blended with silk (typically 70/30 or 72/28) produces the lightweight, luminous halo pieces popular in luxury knitwear. Adult mohair gives a fuller, heavier halo at a lower price point.
Brushed mohair cardigans are typically knitted at 2gg–5gg to allow the fibre to bloom and create the halo effect after brushing. Finer mohair-silk blends can be knitted at 7–10gg for a lighter, more structured garment before brushing.
Yes. Kid mohair-silk blend (typically 72% kid mohair / 28% silk) is one of our most requested yarns for US luxury brands. The silk component adds lustre and structure to the halo. We source from European spinners with full origin documentation.
