Mohair

Mohair is the fiber from an angora goat. Mohair fleece is renowned for its strength, comfort and elasticity, as well as its insulating qualities. Many people that can’t wear wool are able to wear garments made from mohair because of the smoothness of the individual fibers. If you’re looking for the softest mohair possible, you’ll want it to be labeled as ‘kid mohair‘. This means that the fiber was obtained from a goat’s first shearing, when it is less than a year old.

Mohair fleeces can be found in some gorgeous natural colors, including white, black, grey, and several shades of brown. Mohair also takes dye well, so you’ll often be able to find prepared mohair roving or top in a rainbow of colors.

You’ll also find mohair roving at Paradise Fibers, as well as faux mohair fiber.

The staple length of mohair is typically about 4 to 6 inches. Mohair is a versatile fiber that can be used in a lot of different craft projects; in addition to using it for spinning and knitting, crafters often use it for making doll hair. If you buy a raw mohair fleece, you’ll want to make sure you wash it and remove its guard hairs before spinning.
