South Africa, Frances VH Mohair, New Tekkies Blanket

Tekkies: phrase that is used for new tires in Afrikaans, translates directly to "New Running Shoes"

This woven mohair blanket is part of the SOFA collection by France VH Mohair, a series of limited-edition blankets inspired by the wide plains and shifting colours of the Karoo in South Africa. Each piece in this range is woven from high-quality mohair supplied by local producers and crafted with an emphasis on sustainable processes and traditional hand-weaving.

Mohair — the soft, lustrous fibre obtained from the fleece of the Angora goat — is prized for its exceptional warmth, lightness and natural sheen. It carries colour with depth and richness, making each blanket both a tactile and visual presence in your home. The SOFA collection celebrates this unique material, transforming mohair into blankets that feel warm, inviting and enduring. 

Designed to drape beautifully over a sofa, armchair or at the foot of a bed, this blanket blends softness with substance. Its generous size and hand-woven structure create a cosy layering piece that adds comfort and character to interior spaces while illustrating the material’s remarkable texture and colour play.
