Mohair shares all of the good qualities that we know from wool: It is warm, beautiful and can absorb moisture, which makes it comfortable to wear. Mohair comes from the angora goat, and the fibres are more lustrous and slightly stronger than those of wool.

Silk has for centuries been one of the most coveted textile fibres. It is lustrous, strong and incredibly comfortable to wear.

Tilia is a gorgeous mix of shiny mulberry silk sorrounded by a cloud of the lightest kid mohair. On the technical side Tilia is a fine, worsted spun and brushed yarn.

Mohair deler alle de gode egenskaber, vi kender og elsker fra uld: Det er varmt, smukt og kan absorbere væde, hvilket gør det behageligt at have på. Mohair kommer fra angorageden, og sammenlignet med uld er fibrene blankere og en smule stærkere.

Silke har igennem årtusinder været en af vores mest eftertragtede tekstilfibre. Den er blank, smuk, stærk og utroligt behagelig at have på.

Tilia er en smuk blanding af blank mulberrysilke med en sky af let kid mohair omkring. Teknisk set er Tilia et tyndt kamgarnspundet og børstet garn.
