Tilia is a luxury yarn spun from 70% kid mohair and 30% mulberry silk.  Mohair is warm, gorgeous and can absorb moisture, which makes garments knitted with mohair pleasant to wear. Compared to wool, mohair fibres are glossy and a bit stronger.  Silk is glossy, beautiful, strong, and extremely pleasant to wear. The combination of silk and a cloud of mohair is one of the most exquisite and luxurious yarns one could ever wish to knit with. 

Filcolana  spin their Tilia from Mohair from farms in South Africa. And the silk used here is Mulberry silk and the yarn is spun in Italy

Tilia can be knitted on its own, but it can also be combined with other yarns
