Mohair Blend Throws

Frequently Asked Questions About Mohair Throws

• What is mohair blend fabric?

  Mohair blend fabric is made by combining mohair fibres with other fibres such as wool or synthetic materials. Mohair is a luxurious natural fibre that comes from the hair of the Angora goat, and is known for its softness, durability, and sheen.

  Blending mohair with other fibres can improve its texture, increase its durability and reduce cost. 

• How should I care for my mohair blend throw or blanket?

  Mohair blend blankets are beautiful and luxurious, but they require special care to keep them in good condition. Here are some tips on how to care for your mohair blend blanket:

  • Wash the blanket in cold water with a gentle detergent. Avoid using hot water, as this can damage the fibers. Mohair blend blankets should not be machine washed, as the agitation can cause the fibers to mat and pill. Instead, hand wash the blanket in a large basin or bathtub.
  • Rinse the blanket thoroughly in cold water. Do not wring or twist the blanket, as this can damage the fibers. Instead, gently press out the water and roll the blanket in a towel to remove excess water.
  • Lay the blanket flat to dry. Do not hang the blanket, as this can cause it to stretch out of shape. Keep the blanket away from direct sunlight and heat sources, as this can cause fading and damage to the fibers.
  • If your blanket becomes stained, spot clean it with a gentle detergent and cold water. Avoid using harsh chemicals or bleach, as this can damage the fibers.
  • To keep your mohair blend blanket looking its best, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Avoid storing the blanket in plastic bags or containers, as this can trap moisture and cause mildew or mold to form.

  By following these tips, you can keep your mohair blend blanket looking and feeling great for years to come.

  *Please see care label for advised washing instructions.

• Are mohair blend blankets suitable for people with allergies?

  While mohair is generally considered a luxurious and high-quality fibre, it may not be suitable for people with wool allergies.

  Mohair is not actually wool, but it can still cause allergies in some people due to the proteins present in the fibre. The specific allergic reactions can vary from mild itching to more severe symptoms like hives, respiratory issues, and even anaphylaxis in extreme cases.

  If you have a wool allergy or sensitivity, it's best to avoid mohair and other wool-based products. Instead, you may want to consider alternatives like cotton, bamboo, silk, or synthetic materials like polyester or nylon. It's always a good idea to check the label and confirm the material composition before purchasing any clothing or accessories if you have known allergies or sensitivities.
