What is mohair?

Mohair is wool fiber from the angora goat which is a domestic goat found in Turkey, in western Asia, North America and South Africa. The Angora goat lives at an altitude of a thousand meters. The animals are shorn twice a year and deliver approximately 1.5–2.5 kg of mohair wool at each shearing. The fibers are between 100 and 300 mm long. They have little strength, are slightly wrinkled, very elastic and have a fineness of 25-50 micrometres. In terms of colour, they are white-yellow and shiny. Mohair is used pure or mixed with other wool, among other things in outerwear, for example women's coats as well as in knitwear, furniture fabric, blankets, and rugs.
