South African Mohair
Mohair is known as the "diamond" of fibres. It is extremely light with plenty of warmth. It is not scratchy because the
composition is not the same as wool. Mohair fibre is very versatile. It can be used for upholstery, carpets, curtains and
clothing.
South African Mohair history
In 1838, the first Angora goats, twelve rams and a single ewe, arrived in South Africa from Turkey. They had been
imported for breeding purposes, but before their departure, the rams had been rendered infertile by their covetous
Turkish owners. However, the single ewe gave birth to a ram kid shortly after arrival. It was from this humble beginning
that South African mohair has become much sought-after worldwide for its undisputed quality and purity.
Since 1984, a scientific breeding approach has been in place which has transformed the original Turkish Angora goat into a
hardy animal strong enough to thrive in the harsh, scrubby conditions of the Karoo, as well as an animal free from kemp.
(Kemp is the foreign fibre caused by crossbreeding which, if processed into the final product, does not take dye and
causes the "prickle" consumers abhor).
The hair is also stringently graded on the farms - it is this dedication to the fibre that sets South African mohair apart from
other producing countries. Today South African products comprise 60% of the world's mohair production.
