Merino and mohair trap air between fibres and wick moisture, so you stay warm even if you sweat a little. Synthetics cannot do that. More in Natural vs synthetic yarn.
A tip
For people who feel the cold, feet and neck matter most. Mohair socks + a V-neck cardigan + a scarf beats any heater.
FAQ
Which is warmer, mohair with silk or with merino?
Mohair with merino is warmer and denser; mohair with silk is lighter, for transitional seasons and indoors.
What are the warmest socks for home?
Mohair: its fluffy halo holds warm air around the foot.
Does mohair keep you warm if it is sheer?
Yes: warmth comes from the air in the fibre halo, not the density of the fabric.
