Angora goats produce a beautiful luxurious incredibly
durable fiber called mohair which rates amongst the warmest natural fibers
known to man. It is a fiber that is justifiably recognized worldwide as the one
fiber that ultimately enhances luxury products. South Africa, from where all our products are directly
sourced from fair trade producers, currently produce more than 60% of total
world production of mohair.
Mohair is a strong, lustrous fibre that makes an ideal yarn
and fabric. It drapes well and resists wrinkling or shrinking. It is stronger
and warmer than wool, keeping heat in during cold weather and is a barrier
against hot summer temperatures. Mohair isn't "itchy" because it
doesn't have scales like wool. It accepts dye with an exuberance that is
unparalleled. Natural coloured mohair has variations of shades that are
exceptionally beautiful.
Mohair is one of the most versatile textile fibers. Its
characteristics are similar to wool, except that it does not have the scales
that can irritate the skin. Ciao Bella!'s finest mohair blanket throws are a generous 51" W X 72" L; 100% Pure Mohair Pile.
Available in 24 brilliant designer colors. Compare at Susan Chalom’s $1,500.00 mohair throws.

Mohair has several unique
properties that are not found in any other animal fiber......
Insulating - Mohair's hollow fibers do not conduct heat like wool and
provides good insulation, even when wet.
Durability - Mohair can be twisted and bent without damage to the fiber;
it is the most durable of animal fibers. Comfort - Mohair does not irritate the skin, even for people who are
sensitive to wool.
Strength - Mohair is stronger than steel of the same diameter.
Shrink resistance - Mohair fabrics shrink much less than wool because
mohair's smooth fibers do not felt.
Elasticity - Mohair is very elastic; it can be stretched up to 30%, and
will spring back to shape; mohair garments resist wrinkling, stretching, or
sagging.
Moisture transfer - Mohair easily absorbs and releases moisture, moving
perspiration away from the skin. It is comfortable to wear in cold and hot
weather. Luster - One of mohair's most important qualities is its ability to take
dye and to display brilliant colours that resist fading by time or hard wear.
Lightweight
- Mohair's smooth fibers can be made into fabrics that have a cooling effect.
It is ideal for summer garments.
Non-flammability - Mohair will not burn unless it is exposed to a direct
flame.
Easy to Wash - Mohair is easy to wash because it doesn't felt or shrink
like wool. In normal circumstances the most regularly required care will be
brushing the pile (the fluff) with a stiff hairbrush. Depending on how you use
it your blanket will require washing periodically. This too is very simple. Hand wash in tepid water with a
small amount of detergent or soap powder.
Do not rub or agitate unduly, if possible let the dirt soak out. Drain, and then rinse in clean
cold water. Rinse a second time in tepid water, and add a small amount of
fabric softener for superior results, drain and hang up to dry (because mohair
has a different structure to wool, you will find it dries quite quickly)
followed by a brisk brush to fluff it up.
