Mohair possesses great tensile strength. Diameter to diameter it is stronger than steel. This makes it ideal for travelling, and is admirable because it combines warmth with durability. The Angora goat's main emphasis is on the fibre it produces, Mohair , which is not to be confused with the Angora Rabbit which produces Angora . A well developed frame that is square in appearance, with a straight back, a full girth, flank, and deep body.
Large frames are most favourable, so as to increase the cut per head.
With the coverage of the Angora goat and the fleece to be produced, the following are also taken into account. Light reflecting propert, giving a sheen effect. A white, harsh fibre, very short, does not dye and will get caught up in the fleece when hand spinning. Causes a prickly feeling in the finished garment. Fibres posessing a medulla, or core of air filled cells.
