Mohair Facts

  • Insulating capacity-mohair's hollow fibers do not conduct heat; like wool, mohair provides a good
    insulation even when wet.
  • Durability-mohair can be twisted and bent without damage to the fiber; it is the most durable
    animal fiber
  • Comfort-the smooth fibers of mohair do not irritate the skin, even for people who are sensitive to
    wool.
  • Strength-mohair is stronger than steel of the same diameter.
  • Shrink resistance-because its' smooth fibers do not felt, mohair fabrics shrink much less than
    wool.
  • Elasticity-mohair is very elastic; it can be stretched up to 30% and will spring back to shape;
    mohair garments resist wrinkling, stretching, or sagging.
  • Moisture transfer-mohair easily absorbs and releases moisture, moving perspiration away from the
    skin; it is comfortable to wear in cold and hot weather.
  • Luster-one of mohair's most important qualities is its' ability to take dye and to display brilliant
    colors that resist fading by time or hard wear.
  • Lightweight-mohair's smooth fibers can be made into fabrics that have a cooling effect; it is ideal
    for summer garments.
  • Non-flammability-mohair will not burn unless it is exposed to a direct flame.
Our herd of white
Angora Goats is small (5
adults and 1 kid).  All
of our goats are pets
with names and are
loved dearly (they are
our 4 legged children)
but also have the job of
providing their fiber
(mohair) for various
uses. The mohair from
the younger goats is
used for roving and
yarn.  The mohair from
the older goats with
courser fiber is used for
needle felting and rugs.
