mohair

Lustrous goat fiber

Mohair is a lustrous, durable fiber from the Angora goat, or fabric woven from it.

The fiber is silky and takes dye well, making it prized for sweaters, suits, and upholstery: a mohair cardigan, mohair blend yarn.

Mohair fabric has a distinctive fuzzy texture and subtle sheen.
