    At least once a week I hear someone talk about leaving the hustle and bustle behind and moving to ‘the country’, and I’ll admit to echoing similar sentiments from time to time.

    Of course most of us don’t follow through, but when you hear stories like that of Adele Cutten it sounds all the more irresistible.

    During her travels in the UK she came across an old woman living in a simple croft on the Isle of Harris, off the coast of Scotland. She collected her wool off the fences, carded, spun, washed and dyed it with natural dyes, and then wove the most incredible tweed.

    So incredible, in fact, that she was the official Queen’s weaver of tweed.

    When Adele returned she bought a spinning wheel, and in 1983 Adele’s Mohair was born.

    Situated between Port Elizabeth and East London, just outside of Port Alfred, her story is pretty unique:

    Cape mohair, sourced from our angora goats (quite a story as to how they landed up here), is also regarded as the world’s finest and best quality.

    Given that South Africa is responsible for more than 50% of the world’s mohair production, making us far and away the world’s leading producers, Adele has plenty to choose from.

    Thanks to the efforts of organisations like Mohair South Africa, who look after the local industry and promote international partnerships that benefit our producers, peeps like Adele and her employees can pursue their passions.

    Anyone else feel like packing it in and moving to a little farm somewhere?
