A mohair goat, also called Angora goat in English, is a small goat that has been bred for centuries to produce the finest hair. The history of the mohair goat starts in Central Asia, but it was in ancient Turkey that mohair was made into an extremely valuable commodity. At that time, mohair was reserved for the sultan and very wealthy people.

Is it called mohair wool?

No, there is no such thing as mohair wool. Wool is a rough fibre, while mohair is a smooth fibre. It's like calling a fruit a banana apple. They are two different fruits but have nothing in common other than the fruit category, just as mohair and wool fall into the "natural fibre" category.

What mohair products are sold in the store?

The shop sells yarn, socks, plaids, skins, hats, mittens, shawls, scarves, headbands, sweaters, baby clothes, slippers, ponchos, etc.

Where can I buy yarn from Mohair by Canard?

Why is mohair expensive and if it is not expensive, how can it be?

Mohair is expensive first and foremost because the animals live in proper conditions and animal ethics, animal welfare and sustainability are taken into account. If mohair is not expensive, it is probably because the conditions for the animals have not been very good and probably also a poor quality. Think twice when buying mohair. Mohair is not easy to process, which results in high processing costs.

Which mohair yarns go well together?

1\-ply kidmohair and Brushed Lace go extremely well together and are the most popular blend, but all our yarns can be successfully blended in different ways. Brushed Lace and 1-Twist Kidmohair are sought-after companion yarns to a host of other yarns to make the end result extra soft and delicious.
