Tapestry "Roads less travelled"
Crafted from delicate, hand-spun Karoo mohair and wild grass gathered from the veld where the goats graze, this piece embodies the natural, circular relationship between plants and animals. The tapestry showcases the raw beauty of these elements, highlighting the connection between nature, craftsmanship, and the textiles we bring into our homes.
This textured, earthy design is more than just decor—it’s a quiet reminder of the beauty and simplicity of nature.

AbOUT FRANCES VH MOHAIR
The Karoo, a semi-arid area of South Africa, is home to mohair farming, producing some of the finest mohair around. Its plains are scattered with colour, sometimes subtle and dusty, other times severe and crisp. The landscape is textured with fine flora and vast mountain ranges. Every step of Frances V.H Mohair’s textiles is inspired by the land and people of the Karoo. The process from spinning to carefully trimming the finished piece is entirely carried out by hand by local inhabitants.
