What is Mohair?
Mohair is a beautiful fiber which is obtained from the Angora Goat. The animals and their fleeces are categorized as White and Colored with a breed association for each - The American Angora Goat Breeders Association (www.aagba.org) and The Colored Angora Goat Breeders Association (www.cagba.org.) Mohair typically grows at a rate of approximately one inch per month and the goats are shorn twice a year. The ideal mohair fleece is 6-7 inches in length. The fiber is known for its strength, sheen, and its ability to take dye brilliantly.
