Mohairkuidut

Mohairkuidut refers to the hair obtained from the Angora goat. This fiber is known for its distinctive luster, warmth, and durability. Mohair is a protein fiber, similar to wool, and is characterized by its silky sheen and resilience. It has a smooth surface, which contributes to its ability to reflect light and give it a characteristic glow. Mohair is also known for its hypoallergenic qualities, making it a popular choice for those with sensitive skin.

The production of mohair involves shearing the Angora goat, typically twice a year. The quality of mohair can vary depending on the age of the goat, with younger animals producing finer, softer fibers. This fine mohair is often used for high-end garments, while coarser fibers may be used for upholstery or carpets. Mohair is prized for its ability to take dye well, resulting in vibrant and long-lasting colors. It also possesses natural flame-retardant properties.

Garments made from mohair are known for their warmth without being excessively heavy. The hollow core of the fiber traps air, providing insulation. Mohair fabrics are also breathable and moisture-wicking. Despite its softness, mohair is also strong and resistant to matting and tangling, making it a durable textile. It is often blended with other fibers, such as wool or silk, to enhance its properties or achieve specific textures.
