I absolutely adore mohair. It is strong, lustrous and beautiful. Mohair soaks up dyes like nothing else. The angora goats that produce mohair are exotic and gorgeous to look at. I tell everyone that spins and knits socks to blend some mohair in with the wool to make a strong, sturdy yarn. The heels will never wear out. Mohair grows twice as fast as wool. Sadly, many people shy away from mohair as they think it will itch and ruin a yarn for next-to-the-skin wear. There is coarse mohair and soft mohair, just like coarse wool and soft wool. I like to blend both together.
