Mohairlabs was formed in 1984 in recognition of the need for specialist knowledge and expertise necessary for accurate testing of mohair, due to certain fundamental differences between Wool and Mohair. The most significant of which is the much greater variation in fibre diameter inherent to Mohair.
Membership is open to all suitably equipped independent laboratories.
Each year, a series of round tests are undertaken and successful laboratories are issued with a stamp indicating the test qualified for.
