Mister Joe · Astrakan 2000 · 200m/219yds per 100g/3.5oz · 33% Mohair (WM) 33% Alpaca (WP) 20% Acrylic (PC) 14% Polyamide (PA)

Astrakan 2000 by Mister Joe is a large-loop bouclé of immediate visual impact, its generous curls and loops creating a rich, sculptural surface with a depth and volume that is striking from across the room. The bouclé here is not subtle: the loops are full, rounded, and densely packed, producing fabric with a bold three-dimensional texture that is confident and distinctive in its character.

33% mohair provides the signature long, silky fibers that give the loops their characteristic softness and a subtle natural luster even within the bouclé structure. 33% alpaca adds extraordinary warmth and a weightless quality that prevents the generous loop construction from feeling heavy: the fabric is voluminous but never burdensome. The multi-tone construction in pink and blue creates a natural visual complexity, with the two colours shifting and interweaving through the loops to create depth and movement that solid-colour bouclés cannot achieve.

20% acrylic and 14% polyamide together provide the structural backbone that holds the generous loops in place through knitting and wear, ensuring the bouclé retains its full, sculptural character over time.

Versatile Use

At 200m/100g, Astrakan 2000 is a true worsted-weight yarn ready to knit and crochet as is. For machine knitting, finer strand combinations are equally possible. Best worked in simple, open stitch patterns that allow the large bouclé loops to read fully and breathe. Ideal for statement sweaters, cardigans, shawls, and accessories where bold natural texture and rich colour define the piece.
