Mohair comes from the Angora goat and is one of the oldest fibers in use today. It is considered luxurious along with other well known fibers like silk, and cashmire. It is warm in the winter and cool in the summer and is often used in combination with other fibers. These fabric "blends" are created because many people suffer allergic reactions to the Mohair fiber. Mohair should not be confused with Angora wool which comes from an angora rabbit, but will sometimes be incorrectly called mohair.
