Fonty Ombelle

Fonty Ombelle is a luxury and sophisticated wool that combines 75% high quality mohair with 20% natural wool and 5% polyamide. Mohair offers a soft and fluffy texture that gets a high elegance in your work.

Mohair fiber comes from Caucasian goats raised in South Africa and France. Natural wool and polyamide provide strength and elasticity, creating a durable and easy to weave yarn. Ombelle can be woven alone or mixed with other yarns to create subtle blends that combine the visual effect of mohair with the properties of other materials.

Ombelle’s range of colors is wide and vibrant, where you will find vivid and more neutral tones, which can be combined to achieve spectacular results.

Knitting with Ombelle is a wonderful experience thanks to its soft and fluffy touch. It glides easily on the needles, which are recommended in thickness from 3.5 mm to 4 mm to achieve a loose and lightweight fabric.
