Mohair Throw Blanket in Highlander Plaid - Clearance

Clearance - All Sales Final

Luxurious, soft and with a high sheen, the Highlander plaid throw is like a tartan, but only better, because it's fluffy. 

Mohair is a silk-like yarn made from the hair of the angora goat - not to be confused with the wool of an angora rabbit – and is classed as a luxury fiber like alpaca and cashmere.

We vet our mohair suppliers to ensure the ethical treatment of goats. Mulesing is not allowed.

• It's warm in winter, cool in summer and wicks away moisture

• Absorbs dyes exceptionally well to produce saturated, vibrant colors
