Available in dozens of colors, these beautiful kid mohair curls are ideal for spinning and needle felting. Sold by Marti Browne, a veteran fiber artist and fashion designer living and working in Southern California’s high desert, the mohair is hand-washed before shipping. One hundred percent of the proceeds from all of Marti’s sales goes to supporting troubled teens.
