Definition
Mohair is used for knitwear, scarves, coats and high-quality suiting fabrics. The long, smooth fibers clearly reflect light and, depending on the quality, can be soft, fluffy or noticeably strong.
In simple words
Knitwear often creates a light, cloudy pile. In suiting fabrics, mohair provides bounce, wrinkle recovery and a crisp shine. Mohair is not the same as Angora: In textiles, Angora usually refers to the hair of the Angora rabbit.
What to pay attention to
- Test the material on the neck because the pile can irritate sensitive skin.
- Pay attention to fiber fly and whether hair is stuck on dark clothing.
- Check the mixture: A small proportion of mohair can significantly change the effect and care.
Common misconceptions
Mohair does not come from the Angora rabbit, but from the Angora goat.
ESKYNA note
Mohair combines light, air and structure - luxurious, but only pleasant if the handle suits you.
