FLAME MOHAIR WOOL THROW BY CUSHENDALE

MOHAIR

Mohair is a soft wool that comes from the hair of the Angora goat. Mohair is often referred to as the “diamond fibre,” as the wool is characterised by a distinct lustre and sheen. As with sheep's wool the diameter, micron, of the fibre increases with the age of the goat, and the thinner fibres from younger goats represent the finest mohair yarns. Mohair is considered one of the oldest fibres in the world, it originated in the mountains of Tibet, the original home of the Angora goat. It remains one of the most prized natural textiles.
