The finished product is extremely durable with many of the original family produced products still in use. The name Angora is believed to originate from a name Ankara which was known in ancient times as the providence of Phrygia in Asia-Minor. Mohair used in the manufacturing of our products comes from the Angora goat. The fibre has great strength, excellent length with a flat scale fibre structure. The benefits of this are good durability, i.e. hard wearing, excellent soiling resistance and non-felting.
Mohair is almost non flammable, extremely light and exceptionally warm.
It's resilience, high tensile strength and elasticity offers excellent drape and functionality. Lustre is what mohair is famous for, which is caused by its closed scale formation. More than any other animal fibre, mohair has the ability to be dyed brilliant colours that resist time and the elements.
