Mohair comes from the angora goat, which originates from the area around Ankara, Turkey, thus the name. The word mohair has origins in Arabic, and the angora goat is sometimes called the mohair goat. We spin our Tilia from Mohair from farms in South Africa.

Mulberry silk is the best silk available. It is glossy and the fibres are consistent in thickness and stronger than other silk fibres. Mulberry silk has been produced for centuries in China and is an important export. In the ancient times, China was the only country that produced silk.

You can knit Tilia on its own, but we also recommend knitting it with together with one of our other yarns. Saga, Alva and Vilja are, for example, great for knitting together with Tilia.
