Mohair the champagne of fibres, renowned for its sheen, durability & warmth is hand processed to grow the cloth which is admired world wide.

Rosecraft luxurious mohair products weave together the warmth & vibrancy of African colour with community upliftment.

Angora goats produce a beautiful luxurious incredibly durable fibre called mohair which rates amongst the warmest natural fibres known to man. It is a fibre that is justifiably recognised worldwide as the one fibre that ultimately enhances luxury products.

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 fibres. Its characteristics are similar to wool, except that it does not have the scales that can irritate the skin.

Mohair has several unique properties that are not found in any other animal fibre

Insulating - Mohair's hollow fibres do not conduct heat like wool and provides good insulation, even when wet.

Durability - Mohair can be twisted and bent without damage to the fibre; it is the most durable of animal fibres.

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 fibres 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 fibres 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. Handwash 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
