Hans Christian Andersen (1805 – 1875)

The Denmark poet Hans Christian Andersen was the son of a poor shoemaker. He conquered the whole world with his fairy-tales, which were translated in more then 80 languages. He wrote fairy-tales not only for children but first of all also for adults. His fairy-tales include warm humor in the same like bitter irony. They are comforting for all, the children and the adults, because always the good is succeeding and the brave and persevering fellow will always win.

On occasion of the 200th birthday of Hans Christian Andersen we have chosen nine of the most beautiful Andersen fairy-tales and have them designed as little fairy-tale Bears.

Mohiar, finest Material for Teddybears

Mohair is made from one of nature`s finest sources for natural fiber, the Angora goat. This special fur is very long and naturally wavy. When sheared (this usually occurs twice a year) it is called mohair. The term "mohair" is derived from the Arabian word "Muhayar" which literally means "the fabric of goat hair". Despite the name similarity there is no relation to the Angora rabbit.

The collection of this noble hair does not require any animals to be harmed!

Angora goats are a delicate animal and are very sensitive to temperature change. This requires a dependable mild climate. Summers not so hot that the meadows dry out and winters not too cold. In the entire world there are only three regions that consistently meet these ideal conditions: Texas, USA, South Africa and Turkey.

The fur of the Angora go at is naturally white, curly and shiny. Its fibers have a remarkable strength when made into a pile fabric. These characteristics together with the noble appearance, silky feel and sheen make mohair one of the finest fibers offered by nature.
