Angora goats
Mohair, a fibre, comes from Angora goats.
The very popular wool that is used to create mohair sweaters comes from the Angora goat. Mohair is considered durable and resilient and is considered to be one of the oldest textile fibers.
Mohair is made from the Angora goats' hair.

Mohair production can have several disadvantages, including environmental concerns related to overgrazing, which can lead to land degradation and desertification. The intensive farming practices often associated with mohair production may also raise animal welfare issues, as goats can suffer from overcrowding and poor living conditions. Additionally, the market for mohair can be volatile, making it a risky investment for farmers. Lastly, the processing of mohair can involve chemicals that may harm the environment if not managed properly.
Mohair is from clipping an Angora goat, not skinning it. Skinning it is completely removing the hide AND the hair, and is only done when the animal is dead. Clipping is done when the animal is alive and is only done to remove the hair. Clipping is much less painful than skinning.
