Mohair is the yarn of choice for the Mela Wedding collections. This choice was made from day one because mohair, blended with silk, allows for the creation of lightweight, transparent, almost ethereal, elegant garments with a sublime simplicity. These are, in fact, all the characteristics of every Mela Wedding model, both in the Bridal collections and in the collections dedicated to elegant dresses and elegant and formal shrugs .

But why is Mohair a precious yarn?

Mohair wool is a very long fiber obtained from the hair of the Angora goat, a breed native to Central Asia and currently raised primarily in South Africa, Turkey, and Texas. Although mohair comes from the Angora goat, it should not be confused with the yarn made from the hair of the Angora rabbit, which is also called Angora. Super Kid Mohair, the most prized, is obtained by shearing young goats without causing them any pain.
Mohair is naturally extremely lightweight and durable. It is less susceptible to felting than wool and has greater resilience. Its durability is enhanced by blending it with another fine yarn, silk, also a natural fiber, a favorite and key ingredient in Mela Wedding collections. Mohair has a natural sheen, enhanced by the silk it is blended with. It is warm in winter, thanks to its excellent insulating properties, while its moisture-absorbing properties make it ideal and cool in summer. All of this makes mohair particularly popular in women's knitwear in general, and Emanuela Melchiorre, with her Mela Wedding collections for brides and elegant women, has brought it to a modern and contemporary level.

Why do we recommend mohair for an elegant shrug?

Super Kid Mohair and silk are two refined fibers for long-lasting creations. The durability of the garments created is of no secondary importance, as Mela Wedding is a slow fashion brand whose collections embody the principle embodied in Vivienne Westwood's famous slogan: "buy less, choose well, make it last." A Mela Wedding mohair shrug will add elegance for a long time and on a wide range of occasions. Its sheer effect, supreme softness, and volume are like a warm embrace. Try it and believe it!
