The Australian mohair industry is regaining its mojo which had declined in recent times at the expense of synthetics. The mohair is usually a silk-like fabric or yarn produced from the hair of the Angora goats, used in high-end fashions and furnishings. Mo0hair, one of the oldest textile fibers in use is now enjoying a resurgence, and for the past two years prices paid for Australian mohair have risen steadily.
Late last year at an auction in Narrandera, New South Wales, bales of the finest fleeces fetched record prices: in one instance selling for $46.50 per kilogram.
