What is “mohair” in the first place?

Mohair” is a material that comes from “Angora goats” native to the Ankara region of Turkey. It is produced in large quantities in the United States, Turkey, and South Africa, with Texas in the United States being known as a world-class mohair production center. The smooth surface of the mohair fiber has a unique luster and creates an elegant impression. It also has a long pile, which gives a soft impression. In addition to its good looks, mohair fabric is warm and dry, and has the advantage of being comfortable to the touch without the prickly feeling that tends to occur with knitwear.

The difference between “mohair” and “wool” is easy to misunderstand.

Mohair” is often confused with “wool,” which is the same animal hair. Mohair comes from ” Angora goats,” whereas wool refers to sheep’s wool in general. Wool, in general, retains warm air in a mass of fibers called a crimp. Mohair, on the other hand, is characterized by its fluffy, bristly fibers, which contain a greater amount of air than wool, and thus retain more heat. It also absorbs moisture quickly, making it an excellent material used not only for fall and winter items, but also for spring and summer items.

How to care for delicate “mohair

Mohair, with its high functionality and design quality, has a long pile, which tends to get tangled between fibers and easily forms pilling if left untreated. To maintain its beautiful appearance, it is advisable to clean up the fur by gently stroking it along the hairline with a towel of the same color after wearing. Mohair is sensitive to friction, so it is recommended to wash it gently by hand instead of using a washing machine. Since the weight of mohair on a hanger will cause the fibers to stretch, the best way to store it is to dry it flat and lay it flat to prevent it from losing its shape.
