52% acrylic 34% mohair 14% polyamide Mohair is the fibre from the hair of the Angora goat and a fretwork fabric made from this textile fibre, which is widely used in the manufacture of jackets and sweaters. Its main characteristics are softness and shine. The term mohair seems to derive from the Turkish word mukhya, meaning 'the best [fleece]' and the Arabic word mukhayyar, meaning 'a goat's hair cloth'. The main characteristic of the Angora goat is its hair or mohair, very similar to sheep's wool in chemical composition, but different in that it is more insulating, thinner and straighter, and more shiny. Mohair can be woven on a loom or used for knitting, is dyed with some ease and produces a firm, insulating, soft and shiny material. The fine hair of younger goats is used in clothing, but the hair of older animals is used for carpets and heavy fabrics for warm clothes. Mohair fibre can be mixed with wool to obtain high quality fabrics. The mixture of natural and synthetic fibres makes this yarn strong, warm and comfortable to wear. Despite its high acrylic content, this quality offers a similar appearance to natural wool, while polyamide makes this yarn strong and elastic.
