Trijp is a short mohair pole tissue (the hair of the angorageite). Angorageit lives in Turkey, South Africa, Texas and Lesotho. Trijp (the modern name is mohair velours) was a precious fabric that was used as a furniture covering, for wall coverings and for gowns. There are real artworks made of this material that can be seen in various museums and castles.
The most appealing application is described in Exodus 36:14. "He made curtains of goat's hair, to a tent over the tabernacle, of eleven curtains he made them." To date, mohair velours are found in the most amazing colors in serails in the Middle East. The application as a furniture cover was very varied. Examples include the Scala in Milan, cruise ships and the town hall of Pretoria. A special application for years was that of Steigfellen for skiing.
The weaver Daniel Havert, from France, established a weaving mill for goats hair in Utrecht in 1686. Due to the properties of this fabric, it became known abroad as Velours d'Utrecht, Utrechter Plüsch and Utrecht velvet.
