Mohair is said to be oneĀ very durable natural fiber. And when combined with wool to make a blanket, it produces a loftier and lustrous bedding accessory, one that Tall Grass Farm exclusively makes. The blending of fabrics and colors create instant harmony and as the blanket is done, it is right away pre-shrunk, dried up and brushed, for a more fluffier feel.
Mohair plus wool makes a very warm blanket, perfect for these winter nights. And the price of this item is very practical, too.
From Tall Grass Farm:
Why is Mohair Called the Diamond Fiber?
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. Mohair has several unique properties that are not found in any other animal fiber
- Insulating capacity - mohair’s hollow fibers do not conduct heat; like wool, mohair provides good insulation, even when wet.
- Durability - mohair can be twisted and bent without damage to the fiber; it is the most durable animal fiber.
- Comfort - the smooth fibers of mohair do not irritate the skin, even for people who are sensitive to wool.
- Strength - mohair is stronger than steel of the same diameter.
- Shrink resistance - because its smooth fibers do not felt, mohair fabrics shrink much less than wool.
- 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 colors 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.
