Mohair is a soft comfortable wool made from the long curly hair of the angora goat. It has a beautiful shine, is very resilient and therefore it is used for the most luxurious fabrics. The finest mohair, also called kid mohair, comes from the first shearing of a young Angora goat.
Another great benefit of mohair is its natural self-cleaning property. Because of this, most dirt can be removed simply by shaking out the item of clothing. For a deeper clean, you can ventilate your mohair item in the open air or steam it in your bathroom. This wool should be hand washed inside-out, using a mild detergent. Press out the water from the wool without wringing, lay flat to airdry.

Alpaca is a luxury wool from the Alpaca with a very soft and silky appearance. Shearing is done once every 3 years.
The wool has functional benefits: it regulates warmth, it keeps bad smells away, it is water repellent and it barely needs washing. Any creases will also disappear while wearing the item. In the unlikely event of deep creases, iron the wool on a low setting.

Cashmere wool comes from the cashmere goats' undercoat, which is extremely soft and downy. The undercoat is protected by an outer layer of wool and is made of fine, soft hairs that keep the goats warm during the winter months.
Cashmere is known for its softness and its insulating effect which is up to 8 times that of sheep's wool. For the warmth it offers, it is extremely lightweight and wrinkle resistent making it ideal for travelling.
