Understanding Lox Mohair
This carpet is woven from a unique and character-rich variety of mohair known as Lox. Unlike the smooth, uniform fibres typically associated with mohair, Lox stands out for its naturally stained, uneven specks of dark hair found on the Angora goat. These darker strands occur organically and give the fibre a beautifully variegated texture and tone, resulting in a distinctive visual depth.
Lox mohair often retains plant materials — such as tiny twigs, seeds, and natural thorns — which become entangled in the fibres during the goat’s life on the veld. These natural inclusions are intentionally spun into the yarn, preserving the authenticity and wild charm of the material. The presence of these elements contributes to a highly textured, rustic finish that celebrates the raw beauty of nature. Rather than being a flaw, each embedded seed or thorn is a testament to the handmade, artisanal process, reflecting a respect for natural imperfection and a deep connection to the land and animal.
Handmade Note
Each Driftwood carpet is individually handwoven and made to order. As a result, slight variations in colour and texture are a natural characteristic of the craft and add to the uniqueness of your piece. Please allow 4–6 weeks for production and delivery. Delivery via Pudo or The Courier Guy.

Discover more in our FAQ
Can my mohair carpet be redyed?
No, our mohair is dyed before the yarn is woven. Unfortunately, it’s not possible to dye a completed carpet.
How do I clean the cotton tassels?
Our carpets are finished with undyed, hand-knotted cotton tassels. These can look grimy over time even if the carpet stays clean. Simply soak the tassels separately in warm water with mild detergent or washing powder. If you prefer, carpets can also be ordered without tassels—finished with a neat woven edge
instead.
How do I wash my mohair carpet?
You can wash the carpet at home using soap and water. Lay it flat on a deck or patio, wet it thoroughly with a hose, scrub gently with warm water and hair shampoo or Woolite, then rinse and hang to dry over a railing or table. Choose a warm, windy day—your carpet will dry in 24 hours. It may look uneven at first but will settle flat again after a few days of use.
Can I request a custom colour?
Yes. We can dye any colour of your choice for orders of 10kg or more (our minimum dye bath size). A custom dye fee of R500 per colour applies.
Can I request my own design?
Yes. Most of our carpets are made to order and can be adapted in design, colour, and size. You may also submit your own pattern—we’ll evaluate it for suitability and advise on design costs for one-off or exclusive work. For design help please contact us.
Where can I see your carpets in person?
Visit our shop at Rosehill Mall in Port Alfred for a wide selection. You can also see our carpets at Mohair South Africa in Walmer, Port Elizabeth or at our factory in Dimbaza, where you’re welcome to view the full process of spinning, weaving, and finishing. Please arrange a factory visit by contacting us. We also share updated pictures on our social media.
Do you export internationally?
Yes! We supply both retailers and individual customers across the world including the US and Germany. Our carpets offer exceptional value for their quality and performance in international markets.
