Help with knitting yarn

I decided to take up knitting again ( after a good 25 years !) and bought a couple of patterns for what I wanted on eBay .
One of the patterns is for wool called pingouin orage , knitted on 4 mm & 5 mm needles . As far as I can tell pingouin aren't around now so can anyone help with what kind of wool I should be looking for . The picture looks quite fluffy so is it like a mohair do you think ?

Yes , that's the one !
So it knits as Aran. The pattern is for a cardigan in fishermans rib and it looks quite loose . I think I might put that one on hold and try something else as I think if I have problems with the sizing it will put me off knitting and I don't want that !0
