Mohair Woven Collection

Desert Homage

In each piece the irregularity of the yarns and weave convey the subtle shifts and changes of the Karoo’s vast horizons, her twisted knots of ancient rocks and the silence of the stories fossilized into the belly of this ancient seabed. The Karoo tugs at our senses; with nothing to distract us from the shifting light, low hanging skies and the pastel pallet of the far away shapes.

This collection is a story of origin, where place, process, textures and raw materials demonstrate our deep connection with nature.

This range pays homage to the craftsmanship of yarn by showcasing it through variety. Intriguing movement in the design draws attention to the threads, highlighting the tiny, physical moments that make the finished piece fall, function and feel the way it does.

Made up of five multipurpose pieces, blankets or scarves, each offers a different colour pallet and textural make up. The range is completely sustainable, locally made, and uses South African mohair and traditional hand weaving techniques. This timeless range deliberately avoids trends, focussing instead on versatility, simplicity and showcasing the natural characteristics of the fibre.
