Glowhair is a truly luxurious lace weight yarn lovingly developed by Stephen & Penelope's very own yarn brand, West Wool, and available exclusively through us - making it something genuinely special in your stash. Every skein is the result of careful, considered development: silk lends the yarn its remarkable strength and a beautiful, lustrous shine that catches the light with every stitch, while mohair brings that signature fluffy, haloed softness that makes your projects feel magical and otherworldly. Together, these two fibres create something greater than the sum of their parts - a yarn that is simultaneously delicate and resilient, airy and substantial, with a drape and sheen that elevates any project it touches.

With a painter's palette of 48 breathtaking shades, Glowhair offers a world of possibility: vivacious, saturated brights that sing with energy sit alongside subtle, whispering neutrals; rainbows and clouds drift next to rich earth tones and cool sea foams; and for those who love to go deeper, a whole array of moody, mysterious shades await. Whatever your vision, Glowhair has the colour to make it real.

Commercially dyed yarn is dyed in large vats, usually made into large hanks of 1 kilo or more. The yarn is dyed to an extremely precise, all over colour using gradually rising heat. You can generally expect commercially dyed yarn to be very even and dye baths to be exact.

Commercially dyed yarn is wonderful for projects where you want a consistent, all over colour, or even colourwork pieces like fair isle or stranded knitting.

• Items made with Mohair content should be treated with an extra level of delicate care. This includes items where you have held a strand of mohair together with another fibre.
• Wash by hand in cold or lukewarm water with a gentle rinse-free detergent. Use very little agitation, mostly soaking the fibres instead of washing so as not to felt or full the fabric. Never wring or twist finished objects when washing.
• Gently squeeze as much water as possible, roll in a towel and press excess moisture out.
• Lay your finished piece flat to dry.

Mohair can also be dry cleaned, but always consult with the dry cleaner on how to clean mohair without damaging it.
