"With its high affinity for dyes, mohair produces colors that have an unmatched clarity and halo-like glow. Its soft luxurious hand and rich luster combine with great durability for a long lasting product." (Mohair Council of America)

Mohair is an all season fashion fiber--it is as warm as wool, yet breathes with the body during warm weather. Mohair is also much lighter weight than wool. Over time, it has been used to make garments for kings, sultans and as part of the tabernacle in the Bible. Why is mohair considered to be the most durable of all animal fibers? It is the most durable because of its luster which helps dyed mohair resist fading caused by time and the elements. And because it can be twisted without damaging the fiber. And because mohair is almost non-flammable. Fire causes mohair to shrivel into a bead like ash, but after the flame is gone, the burning stops instantaneously. But mostly because mohair's elasticity is unmatched--the fiber will stretch an average 30% over its length and then spring back into shape so mohair garments resist wrinkling, stretching or sagging during wear.
