A short dictionary entry on mohair, the fleece of the Angora goat, quoted from Hayes' Centennial Reports. It describes the fiber's silk-like luster, its lack of felting, and its stiffness, which means it is rarely woven alone and is usually paired with cotton, silk, or wool warps. It notes the main use in Utrecht velvet (furniture plush), where the pile is formed of cut mohair warps, and refers readers to Hayes' work on the Angora goat.
