Touch NZ

In 1991 after some research into hand knitting and weaving yarns on the market in NZ Marnie Kelly discovered there was a lot of product on the market but very little using fibre under 23 micrns and none using Superfine kid mohair Merino and Polwarth wools. An avid spinner and weaver she made garments for her family finding that the fine wools did not have the prickle factor of som yarns on the market So began the quest to breed many sheep and goats with the same soft handling fibre.

Available in Mohair Boucle 2ply 4ply and 8 ply. www.touchyarns.com
