A Long, Lustrous, And Warm Fiber That Was Once Used To Make Garments For Kings.

DESCRIPTION

Mohair is a silk-like fiber from the hair of the Angora goat. A long, white fiber that is notable for its high sheen and smooth feel, it is considered a luxury fiber like silk and cashmere, and has been given the nickname “diamond fiber”. It is often blended with other fibers, especially wool.

STORY

Mohair is one of the oldest fibers in the world. The word mohair is derived from the Arabic word “mukhayyar”, which means “finest fleece selected”. The Angora goat was thought to originate from the mountains of Tibet and reached Turkey in the 16th century. It was. later introduced to England, South Africa, and the United States in the 1800s. Mohair was popular as a wool-blend suiting fabric in the 1960s.

BEST QUALITY

The length and quality of mohair depends on the number of shearing per year. Fewer shearing and younger Angora goats can produce finer, longer, and softer fibers that are considered higher quality (usually 19-20 microns) compared to adult mohair fiber.
