Produced by the Italian mill Ilaria, ASTROLABIO uses the same luxurious Super Kid Mohair concept as the legendary AURORA, but at approximately twice the thickness, creating fuller, loftier fabrics while maintaining the lightness, softness, and elegant halo that mohair lovers appreciate.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMade from premium Super Kid Mohair from the first shearing of young Angora goats, ASTROLABIO creates warm yet surprisingly lightweight garments with beautiful drape and a refined halo.
