Mohair is considered one of the highest quality natural fibers: silky in appearance and to the touch. The first Steiff Teddy Bear from 1902 was made of mohair wool, a mohair pullover was the trademark of Edie Sedgwick, Andy Warhol’s muse. 

Haute couture fashion designers have also discovered the silk-like yarn. Valentino has his models step onto the catwalk in mohair dresses, Saint Laurent designs knitted mohair jackets. Mohair wool is made from the hair of the Angora goat, which is bred mainly in South Africa. That mohair seems to have shed its dusty image is cause for considerable hope to many people there. What are the prospects for farming Angora goats in South Africa?
