⟳ Weaving Recommendations
AURORA performs beautifully as weft in airy, lightweight woven fabrics. Its mohair halo gives textiles a soft, glowing surface and gentle drape.
• Single strand — creates extremely light, open, ethereal cloth
• Double strands — fuller, softly haloed fabric with better stability
• Blending with silk or fine merino warps — recommended for structure
• Works best paired with strong, smooth fibers in the warp (silk, merino, tightly spun wool)
Suggested Sett (EPI): 8–14, depending on strand count and desired openness.
Not recommended for warp unless reinforced with a stronger companion yarn due to mohair’s delicate, airy structure.

⚑ Care Instructions
• Hand wash gently in cold water
• Use mild wool detergent
• Do not wring; press out excess water gently
• Lay flat to dry and reshape while damp
• Mohair halo softens and blooms after washing
