The composition of Lanas Katia Kaleido is:

80% acrylic 10% mohair 10% polyamide Mohair is the fiber from the hair of the Angora goat and an openwork fabric made with this textile fiber, widely used in the manufacture of jackets and sweaters. Its main characteristics are smoothness and shine. The term mohair seems to come from the Turkish word mukhya, which means "the best [fleece]" and from the Arabic word mukhayyar, which means "a cloth of goat hair." The main characteristic of the Angora goat is its hair or mohair, very similar to the wool of sheep (sheep) due to its chemical composition, but different, in that it is more insulating, thinner and smoother, and with more shine .1 Mohair can be woven on a loom or used for knitting, it is dyed with some ease and produces a firm, insulating, soft and shiny material. The fine hair of younger goats is used in clothing, but that of older animals is used for carpets and heavy fabrics for outerwear. Mohair fiber can be mixed with wool to obtain high quality fabrics. To achieve a comfortable, resistant and soft wool to the touch, Kaleido combines natural and synthetic fibers throughout the entire yarn. This wool will give you warmth, and will protect you from the cold on the harshest days of winter. It has a twisted strand and small hairs that give the ball a great softness. The mix of acrylic and mohair fibers achieves a quality very similar to natural wool, with a very soft touch. Polyamide, for its part, is responsible for giving resistance to the ball.
