Is this Yarn Washable?

19 years ago

I was poking around some internet yarn sites and found a yarn that caught my attention, but I cannot seem to locate the care instructions. (I kind of stumbled on this yarn while looking for the 100% linen that Louet carries - it's a dream to work with and the colors are so nice.) I know if I found the yarn in person I could decipher the small symbols, but a quick call to two LYS tells me that I'm not going to find it locally/easily.

The yarn is Kidlin Pixie from Louet. It's described as a lace weight yarn and made of 49% linen, 35% kid mohair and 16% nylon. I know linen and nylon would wash great, but I'm not sure what would happen to the mohair. I wouldn't want to end of with something that looked like a wet, matted dog.

Any help or real life experience is appreciated.
