Adele's Mohair

Adele's Mohair We specialise in an artistic array of hand spun & dyed mohair and wool hand knitting yarns & accessories created by rural South African women.

Adéle started the business in 1983 and employs 30+ women and men at their rural workshop which is located between the port cities of East London and Port Elizabeth, South Africa. The Mohair, Wool, Silk, Bamboo and Alpaca yarns are hand dyed under Adele’s ‘keen eye for colour’ before being hand spun into the most creative array of hand knitting yarns imaginable. The yarns can be hand knitted into a

variety of finished fashion and home accessories. They ascribe to the current trend of recycle and reuse which has created opportunities for innovative and contemporary design of new products. Small quantities are accommodated. The luxurious natural fibres of Mohair (from Angora goats) and Merino wool (from sheep) are locally sourced and are of the finest quality.

Silvia has been with us for more than 20 years. Here she is brushing the knicked blankets. Our blankets are knitted with boucle or looped yarn and then the loops/curls are brushed out creating a ”pile” (the thick fluffy stuff.) If we knitted the blankets with a factory brushed yarn the fluff would be flattened and folded down in the knitting process, so no pile and luxurious softness. Many hands and care go into the making of our pieces.

Mohair South Africa is proud to welcome Natural Fibre Connect 2026 to South Africa, as the international natural fibre community gathers in the home of South African mohair from 1–5 June 2026 in Gqeberha and Graaff-Reinet.

Natural Fibre Connect (NFC) is a global alliance of leading alpaca, cashmere, mohair and wool organisations, united by shared goals and a commitment to the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Through its events, NFC brings together growers, herders and industry stakeholders to build consensus and drive a future with more natural fibres by 2030.

As the global leader in mohair production, South Africa plays a vital role in shaping the future of natural fibres. NFC 2026 provides a unique platform to showcase our industry, share knowledge and strengthen collaboration across the value chain.

We look forward to welcoming delegates to where it all begins, in the heart of the Karoo.
