After six months of waiting for our fibre to be processed, we can once again offer "Angoraglow", our unique product which caused a mini sensation at this year's Bendigo Sheep Show. Customers loved the super soft handle of the yarn as well as the magnificent lustre shown off to perfection in soft variegated shades.

| Exciting mohair yarns from South Africa (Adele's mohair) | |||||
An exciting development for Lara Downs is the forging of a new relationship with an enterprising group of women from South Africa who are using their handcraft skills to improve their livelihood. We now have stocks of their fabulous Knobbly fancy yarn, all hand dyed and spun, as well as a very special beaded yarn in a variety of shades. The super fine mohair boucle yarn, also from Adele's, teams well with either fancy yarn and we have knitting kits available which take advantage of all three yarns. Some of their products are shown below. Individual yarns by Adele's are detailed on our yarns page. |
