turkey i think Angora goats are farmed in many countries for their fibre which is called mohair.
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.
Shahtoosh (Persian for the King of Wools) is the most expensive wool in the world. It is commonly used in small amounts, such as in shawls and scarves. It significantly lighter, softer, and thinner than regular wool. The wool comes from mountainous regions in Tibet and India. To harvest the wool, the chiru (an antelope - not a goat) must be killed. It may take killing 4 animals to make a shawl. The chiru is now on the endangered species list, and it is illegal to buy, sell, or own Shahtoosh in the U.S.A. In Turkey, especially in Istanbul, many scarves are labeled Shahtoosh, but they are actually a loosely woven Cashmere. The Cashmere is harvested without killing the animal. The fake Shahtoosh scarves will cost between $70 to $400 and are legal to buy.
There are many places where you can find genuine mohair scarves and shawls online. www.amazon.com sells mohair scarves by Gita, and www.bonanzle.com offers mohair scarves made by individual sellers.
