GlossaryMohair

luxurious fiber from Angora goat hair

Mohair is a luxurious fiber obtained from the hair of the Angora goat. Known for its high luster and sheen, mohair is used in high-quality textiles and garments due to its durability, elasticity, and ability to retain dye well. It is distinct from other fibers like wool, which comes from sheep, and is prized for its silky texture and insulating properties.
