Gabo Wool

Family memories and experience in Norway

In the brand’s story, Krystian recalls a grandfather who kept and sheared sheep and a grandmother who made yarn and knitted wool socks. The family spinning wheel remained an enduring connection with that work.

Later experience in Norway deepened his understanding of wool and fibre production. Returning to Poland, he wanted to improve access to natural yarns. Gabo’s own account connects the collection with that combination of family knowledge and practical learning.

MOHSILKO and the idea of paired yarns

MOHSILKO combines super kid mohair, mulberry silk and merino. The product page lists 61% mohair, 24% silk and 15% merino, with the silk forming the core of the yarn. It can be worked alone or combined with another strand, depending on the fabric wanted.

The brand develops its MOHSILKO colours to pair with other named ranges. Shared colour names are intended to indicate compatible shades, although different fibres can still show a colour differently. That is useful information when selecting two strands for one garment.

For a substitute, consider the role of each strand. Replacing a fine mohair blend requires attention to its surface texture as well as its gauge. If it is held with another yarn, make the sample with both strands together. The final fabric, rather than either individual ball band, is the basis for a reliable comparison.
