OF MOHAIR On catwalks around the world, from Milan and Paris to London and New York, this season sees the return of mohair. he delicate appearance and lustre of mohair makes it one of I ‘our most exquisite nacural fibres, Silky and lustrous, it can take ‘on many guises, from the baby sofiness of kid mohair knits to risply woven suiting fabrics. Fashion designers like Otavia Missoni mohair. It produces colours that have an unmatched clarity and glow, fabrics that are virtually uncrushable, and results in garments that warm east and texture light and wonderful to wear.‘ like the c cof mohaie’ says designer Bill Blass Especially with co-ordinating fabrics and other natural yarns, Ie has a great way of enriching style The mohair bre comes from the back of the Angora goat, not to be confused with the angora rabbit - the rabbit produces angora, the goat iohair. The goat is said to have originated in the mountains of Tibet, and records have been uncovered from the ancient Sumerian civilisation of Turkestan, dating back to the 14th century B.C., which mention the existence of goats, kids and white wool for clothing. The Bible records its appearance in Egypt 1500 years before Christ.The book of Exodus tells us thatthe sons of Israel fled from Egyps, ‘carrying with them go whose fleece was used to make fabric to dress the altar3 a a 6 i é In PROFILE The mohair industry was born in Ankara, the capital city of Tarkey and the best mohair came from the province of Anchora, hence the name. ‘The word mohair derives from the Arabic for ‘cloth of bright goat's hair ‘mukhaya’-In the 13¢h century Genghis Khan expelled Suleyman Shah fiom the land of the Turkomans, who drove his flocks of Angora goats on an incredible tek of thousands of miles from Turkestan. There the Angora goats found a favourable climate, pure air and water making perfect conditions for breeding and growing excellent fleece However, the Angoran people attributed the beauty of the mohair produced by the fleece to the power of the holy man Hadji Bayram Veli, and wove the fibres into a lustrous silky cloth, worn by Sultans. In 1554 a pair of Angora goats was sent asa gift to the Holy Roman Emperor. Demand for this versatile and beautfil fibre soon exceeded supply and the Sultan of Turkey prohibited the export of the raw fle to Europe. Only spun Mohair entered the market, but by 1600 the quality ofhome grown woollen yarns had improved to the extent that the demand for Mohair declined, Having made succesful treks of thousands of miles from their original homeland in Tiber, the Angora goat resisted many later attempts to transport it. Throughout the 18th century repeated attempts to farm the goat in countries throughout Europe filed, but success eventually came in 1830, when twelve bucks and one doe safely arived in South Aitica. Unfortunately it became obvious that all ewelve males had been secretly deprived of their fertility before their departure. Luckily the doe had given birth to a male on board ship and the animals were cross- bred with local goats, which led to a hardier animal Thirty more Angoras followed and South Africa soon became one of the world’ leading suppliers ofhigh quality mohair Today, South Affica and Turkey remain important breeding countries while Texas, in the United States, has also become an important producer: The goat has found a home in places as far afield as Kenya and Lesotho in Atica, Argentina in South America, Australia and New Zealand and, in the last twenty years, small numbers have been bred and raised in England, Kid mohair is renowned as the softest mohair yarn, Taken from the young goat, or kid, when itis about six months old iti span into a sof, ‘warm yarn perfect for hand knitting into sweaters.A fleece taken from, an older goat will produce a coarser fibre better suited for jackets and throws, but all mohair has the springy curl that characterises the coat of the endearing animals themselves, In Britain, shearing takes place twice year, in the spring and in late summer, when the crimped fleece comes away in soft handfuls.
