Angorakutsut

Angorakutsut is a term of Finnish origin that literally translates to "Angora goat cuts" or "Angora goat hair". It refers to the luxurious and soft fiber produced by Angora goats. This fiber is renowned for its silky texture, natural luster, and exceptional warmth despite its lightweight nature. Angorakutsut is prized in the textile industry for its ability to be spun into fine yarns that are comfortable against the skin, making it ideal for garments such as sweaters, scarves, hats, and gloves.

The Angora goat, native to the Ankara region of Turkey, has been selectively bred for centuries to produce this desirable fleece. The harvesting of angorakutsut typically involves shearing the goats, usually twice a year. The resulting fleece is then cleaned, processed, and spun into yarn. Due to its unique properties, angorakutsut is often blended with other natural fibers like wool or silk to enhance its characteristics or reduce its cost. Garments made from angorakutsut are known for their hypoallergenic qualities and their ability to retain warmth even when wet. The production of angorakutsut is a significant part of the economy in regions where Angora goats are raised, and it remains a sought-after material for high-quality apparel and accessories.
