Filcolana Tilia

Filcolana Tilia is a gorgeous mix of glossy mulberry silk sorrounded by a cloud of the lightest kid mohair. On the technical side Tilia is a fine, worsted spun and brushed yarn.

Mohair comes from the angora goat, which originates from the area around Ankara, Turkey, thus the name. The word mohair has origins in Arabic, and the angora goat is sometimes called the mohair goat. Tilia's Mohair comes from farms in South Africa. 

Mulberry silk is the best silk available. It is glossy and the fibres are consistent in thickness and stronger than other silk fibres. Mulberry silk has been produced for centuries in China and is an important export. In the ancient times, China was the only country that produced silk.

You can knit Tilia on its own, but we recommend knitting it together with other yarns, for example Filcolana Arwetta or Peruvian Highland Wool.

Please note that color tones may vary slightly between different monitors, and there can often be small differences between different dye lots.
