goat hair
Angora fiber origin
Goat hair is the fibrous coat of a goat, used in textiles ranging from coarse fabrics to luxury fibers.
The quality varies dramatically by breed—cashmere comes from the soft undercoat of cashmere goats, mohair from Angora goats.
Coarser goat hair goes into brushes, rugs, and tent fabric: Bedouin tents are traditionally woven from goat hair.
