Mohair in fibre form.
Mohair is one of the oldest textile fibres in use and is produced from the hair of Angora goats, originally thought to be from Turkey. It is both durable and resilient. It is notable for its high lustre and sheen, and is often used in fibre blends to add these qualities to a textile. Mohair also takes dye exceptionally well and has great insulating properties, making it warm. It is also known for it's good moisture-wicking, stretch and flame and crease resistancy.
Mohair is wonderful in spun yarns and add an edge of luxury to knitted garments.
I have used this for felting and find that it doesn't felt on it's own very well, but it does make a lovely highlight texture to both wet and dry pieces
Count: 23-27 micron/Bradford 58-60
Staple: 10 - 15cm
I hope this helps?
