What is Mohair Velvet?

Mohair velvet is a fabric ideally suited for upholstery. The mohair wool from which it is made is 100% natural and is inherently fire retardant, usually to contract (hotel) standards. It is also typically hard-wearing, making it suitable for a busy home, a home cinema, a restaurant, or a hotel.

Mohair wool comes from a goat. Other natural wools from alpaca or sheep have similar properties. Mohair velvet is simply the most widely known for upholstery use. Cotton, linen, and silk are all natural fibres that can be made into velvets. Man-made fibres such as Trevira, viscose, and nylon can also be made into velvets, either alone or mixed with natural fibres.

For full specification data including Martindale rub counts and inherent Crib 5 fire ratings across the Kothea mohair velvet range, see the mohair velvet upholstery page.
