Frequently Asked Questions
Caring for your Mohair Throw
Caring for your mohair blankets involves a few key steps to maintain their exquisite softness, lightness, and warmth.
For a Thorough Clean: Opt for professional dry cleaning to ensure the delicate fibers are treated carefully. This method prevents damage that could compromise the blanket's softness high pile; AKA fluffiness.
For Minor Spills or Spots: Use a gentle approach by spot cleaning with water and a mild detergent. Dab the affected area gently; avoid rubbing to prevent damage to the mohair fibers. A careful touch will address the spot without altering the blanket's luxurious feel.
For a Simple Refresh: The natural resilience of mohair means that a little time in the fresh air can rejuvenate the fibers. Draping your throw over a clothesline for an afternoon enhances its fluffiness and revives its natural luster. This also reinforces the mohair's natural properties, ensuring your blanket remains as inviting and cozy as when you first used it.
The Benefits of Mohair
Mohair throws are valued for their airy lightness and lofty pile that traps heat effectively while remaining breathable. Though coarser than cashmere or alpaca, the natural crimp and fullness of mohair fibers contribute to a soft, insulating warmth. The fiber’s strength and elasticity make mohair highly durable, allowing it to maintain its structure and appearance for years of use.
We love mohair for its luminous texture and subtle sheen that instantly elevates any space. Spun from the fleece of the Angora goat, mohair fibers catch the light beautifully, creating a soft halo effect that feels both refined and inviting. It’s incredibly warm yet lightweight, offering cozy comfort without heaviness. Naturally durable and resilient, mohair holds its shape and color for years, making it as practical as it is elegant. We love it for the way it adds quiet luxury—radiant, tactile, and timelessly sophisticated.
