Mohair is popular in textile industry for its unique qualities:
•Insulating-Mohair has good thermal insulation ability and does not conduct heat like wool even when wet.
•Strength - Mohair is stronger than steel of the same diameter.
•Shrink resistance - Because mohair's smooth fibres do not felt, mohair fabrics shrink much less than wool Mohair
•Non-flammability - Mohair will not burn unless it is exposed to a direct flame.
•Luster - Mohair fiber takes dye easily and can display brilliant colors that resists fading by time and hard wear.
•Lightweight - Mohair's smooth fibres can be made into fabrics that have a cooling effect. It is ideal for summer garments.
•Easy to Wash - Mohair does not felt or shrink.
•Durability - Mohair can be twisted and bent without damage to the fibre; it is the most durable of animal fibres.
•Moisture transfer - It is comfortable to wear in cold and hot weather. Mohair can help move perspiration away from skin and easily absorbs and releases moisture.
•Elasticity - Mohair yarn fabric has good elasticity; it can be stretched up to 30%, and will spring back to shape; mohair garments resist wrinkling, stretching, or sagging.
