Mohair is an animal fiber obtained from the angora goat. The word mohair is derived from the Arabic mukhayyar (“goat’s hair fabric”). Mohair textiles were for thousands of years produced exclusively in Turkey and became significant in European textile manufacturing only in the 19th century. Currently, South Africa is the biggest global producer of mohair, producing approximately 50% of the world’s mohair.
